Ken's Song recognition Quiz #3 

This is the third in a series of six lyrics quizzes. I tried to make this one a
little easier than the last one, but I still put in a few obscure artists/songs 
to keep things interesting. 
The rules are based on Dave Ewing's Eclectic series, in fact I decided to run
my own series after having so much fun with Dave's style of quiz. 

Please enter no matter how few you know -- a running tally will be kept.
TEAM PLAY is encouraged, since these lyrics will cover many genres of 
popular music.
Most songs were released from period 1962 - 1992, with probably more of a 
concentration in the last 20 years.

Due Date : Thursday, April 28

DO NOT POST ANSWERS !!!

Rules :

1) Songs are listed alphabetically by artist.
2) No song will be repeated in this series of quizzes. Artists may be repeated.
   I'll try not to, though.
3) Each lyric is worth 10 points, 5 for the song title and 5 for
   the artist.  Partial credit will be given.   
4) If any entrant is the only one to get a lyric correct, double 
   points will be awarded (the entry must be completely correct -
   song and artist - so this would be worth 20 points).
5) The songs will cover a wide range : primarily all genres of rock,
   pop, rhythm and blues, etc from all eras with a few songs outside
   of this to keep you on your toes.
6) There will be 6 quizzes of 25 lyrics.  I will keep a running total
   of scores.
7) Return only your answers (via e-mail).  Please use the format Artist / Song.
8) Teams are encouraged.

Have fun & good luck!
