In Twin Songs of Different Mothers, we’re looking for a song name that has been used by two or more artists. NOT different versions of the same song but entirely different songs that happen to have the same name. With nothing but the names of the artists, you come up with the song title they share. This seems to work best when only a correct TSODM answer qualifies a player to ask additional questions. If it helps, lead the answer to Q#1 with “A#1” and then ask Q#4. Q#1 Supertramp and The Beatles Q#2 Bon Jovi and Pink and Linkin Park Q#3 Queen and Pink Floyd and Three Dog Night ---

Bingo. Continuing the Queen theme… QT3 - Queen and Remy Zero (I had to look their name up…I knew the song, but not them…) And, related to the above… QT4 - The Kinks, Five For Fighting, Lazlo Bane And, one that amuses me greatly, because the two songs were played at around the same time here… QT5 - Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Avril Levign ---
