Here is the latest installment of my song-identification game. This edition features songs that begin with the letter T (but NOT the word “The”, as those songs were part of the previous effort. Here are the other rules:
- the songs are generally by popular artists of the 60s thru 90s
- the songs are not necessarily #1 hits
- the name of the song will not appear in the lyrics given
- please identify both the song title and the artist
- use the numbers of the lyrics when identifying a song
Good luck!

Nitpick - the name of song #10 is “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”, so it should properly go under ‘G’.
I knew #12 was about
whaling, and by CSN(Y?), but didn’t know the title (To the Last Whale).
I had to look up the title, so I suppose it doesn’t count.
I say it counts. Doesn’t matter how you figure it out. Good job.
14 is “Train Kept a Rollin’” by Aerosmith.
That’s two more correct answers, leaving only four remaining.
