1. Hey…girl  
Take out the dagger  
And let’s have a stab at the sexual revolution  
Hey girl

[/QUOTE]

I’ll take this one - fantastic song: _Sexual Revolution_ by Roger Waters.

And I’ll add this one:

1. Wasted and wounded, it ain’t what the moon did  
I got what I paid for now  
See you tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow  
a couple of bucks from you

Correct guesses

1). Roger Waters—Sexual Revolution (4:41 am)   
8). Suzy Boggus—Aces

**Ludovic** , you have the correct band, and IIRC the correct album, but not the song the judges were looking for.

**Caira\_Rand** , you have the correct title, but the artist is incorrect. Try again.

Still in play from the initial list are:  
3) _Go there now, but I hear they sung  
Their f_ck me and marry me young  
Some wild idea and a big white bed, now  
\*-- Sisters of Mercy

1. _Gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn “The Old Rugged Cross”  
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their  
Innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts_
2. _Look around you  
All around you  
Can’t you hear them?  
Cries of the innocent_
3. 

```
*And I don't know where I'm going.

```

I just want to be left alone.  
Well, when this train ends I’ll try again,  
But I’m leaving my woman at home\*  
11)\* Beginning to think that I’m wasting time  
I don’t understand the things I do  
The world outside looks so unkind  
Now I’m counting on you  
To carry me through\*–Drift Away, name the artist

11: Drift Away, Dobie Gray

However, it occurs to me, if more than one artist had a hit with a particular song… maybe we should count that as correct?

Agreed, and I would have ruled correct for Uncle Cracker for this one. I also would have accepted Whitney Houston for #15. But the artist must have made the song popular in some way. The initial answer was for 11 was Steppenwolf, and they may have covered the Dobie Gray classic, but to my knowledge, never made a hit out of it.
