Hi all! 
We were really glad to find that a lot of people (or what we think is a lot)
liked the quiz, so here are the answers and results.  There should be 
another one coming out in February, but it might have a slightly different 
format (we're still playing around).

Next to the artist / title is a number denoting the number of people who got 
the whole question (ie, artist and title) right.

1. "If you want money from people with minds that hate
    All I can tell you is brother, you'll have to wait."
The Beatles / Revolution (20)

2. "I found that I've got cancer
    too many television waves."
Blues Traveller / But Anyway (0)  
OK, we admit this was a stumper.  But some of these questions were giveaways,
so you can't really complain, now can you? :)

3. "Loving would be easy if your
    colors were like my dreams,
    red, gold and green
    (red, gold and green)."
Culture Club / Karma Chameleon (21)

4. "Pick up the receiver 
    I'll make you a believer."
Depeche Mode / Personal Jesus  (13)

5. "Is there something I should say
    that would make you turn my way
    Do you feel the same
    'cause you don't let it show."
Duran Duran / Is there Something I should Know? (15)
    
6. "This will be my testimony."
Peter Gabriel / Sledgehammer (19)

7. "Said sugar, take the time
    'cause the lights are shining bright
    you and I've got what it takes to make it."
Guns N' Roses / Patience  (13)

8. "Hey little sister, what have you done?
    Hey little sister, who's the only one?"
Billy Idol / White Wedding (25)

9. "All you got is this moment
    the 21st century's yesterday
    you can care all you want"
INXS / Need you Tonight (18)

10. "MacGuin and MaGuire just a catchin' fire
     in L.A. you know where that's at"
The Mamas and the Papas / Creeque Alley (5)  
More people had the artist, and couldn't quite remember that darned title!

11. "Just for one moment
     to be warm and naked at my side
     Sometimes I think that you never understand me."
George Michael / Father Figure  (11)

12. "Gonna take you girl and hold you
     Do all the things I told you"
Wilson Pickett / In the Midnight Hour  (6)
(Because we didn't actually think of Wilson Pickett first, we were
willing to take Otis Redding, but apparently Wilson was more popular!)

13. "Your mama looked down and spit on the ground
     every time my name gets mentioned"
Paul Simon / Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard  (12)

14. "All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning
     is see your eyes...Never thought that a girl like you
     would ever go for me"
Toto / Rosanna   (17)

15. "With a red guitar, on fire"
U2 / Desire  (14)

Bonus:  Remember, you got points just for naming where the lyrics are from.
        Other imformation is for your own curiosity (or boredom, depending).

A/ "Half of the people are drowned and 
    the other half are swimming in the wrong direction.
    Half of the people are stoned and
    the other half are waiting for the next election."
from "Mass" (by Leonard Bernstein; I think these particular lyrics are by Paul
Simon.)   (1)

B/ "On my way to where the air is sweet"
Sesame Street (many people told us about the current song/remix of the original
which we'd actually forgotten about; either answer was acceptable)  (20)
