I got one! When I first saw this list I thought 'Oh shit!' because I would have to try to do it. Hated it but clever all the same. All I could come up with was worse versions of the posh ones. Things that had no connection whatsoever with any songs I'd ever heard of. Then I suddenly felt a familiarity over number 7!! Yayyyyy me! I'm really shite at these things. I even opened my 'Notepad' cos I knew it'd be trouble! Number sevennnnn! Whoohooo I got one! I got one! :o) Oh. My. God!
I got one!

What an idiot I am. I tie those two songs together forever because I was once in a band that did a Stones medley and those were the frist two songs in it. If Number 7 isn't that Simon and Garfunkel tune that goes, 'Slow Down, you move too fast, you got to make the mornin' LAST', then I'll eat my hat. I know I know. It's not number 4. Shaddap. Is number 9 'Fire and Rain'? No, can't be. 'Traveling Man'? Nah. Pooh. Number One is ‘Honky Tonk Woman’. What an idiot I am.
