Answers & Quiz 2



okay, the ungotten ones have been sitting for a while now, so here are the answers.

3. Magnetic Fields "The Way You Say Goodnight"

4. 999, "Homicide"

7, The Cramps, "Human Fly"

8, The Coasters, "That is Rock & Roll"

9, The Sundays, "My Finest Hour"

12, James Brown, "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine"

13, Fountains of Wayne, "A Fine Day for a Parade"

20, Blondie, "X Offender"



Clearly, a straight "shuffle" brings up too many obscurities. Whatever-- Dwight got a Ken Nordine track right over on Joe's quiz, so James Brown's "Sex Machine" should be gettable, yes?
