Ok, this next installment features lots of easy ones but I tried to cut down on the obvious giveaways... and by the way, some lyrics are still waiting for you in the first edition of this pastime quiz... as before, I gave points regarding the difficulty of the lyric and constestants will be ranked on the points they make and not simply how many songs and artists they can identify
And Cosgrove is first to score with three points (3*1)
Imposter ties at first place with three points (3*1)
icubaji enters the fray tying at first place with three points (1+2)
Penny comes storming in straight at first place with three points (2+1)
flfrleta is fifth with one point
lenin ties at fifth place with one point

Again, I'll knock out a couple one-pointers -- I know #5 is "Last Dance with Mary Jane" by Tom Petty and #7 is "66" by the Afghan Whigs.

Is #8 one of the movie samples from "Scooby Snacks" by Fun Lovin' Criminals?

Yes, it is... and of course, you would recognize Greg's words about little hoppy furry creatures having habits and sexy walks... and well, I had to include lyrics by Tom Petty, hadn't I ? So three points are coming your way, I'm sure you can do better...

Imposter02/18/2005

I can find:

2. Yesterday - The Beatles
14. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan
19. Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang
