I like your list, and I think you should consider two songs that have been mindlessly applied to TV ads: the Stones' "Brown Sugar" and The Who's "Bargain." I think "Bargainb" fits into the same obsesseive borderline psychotic category as "Every Breath You Take" and definitely does not impart any insight about getting a good deal on a sport utility vehicle. Much worse is the Kahlua commercial that depicts a pretty black woman dancing around a pool table. "How come she dance so good?" Well, "it's just like a black girl should." Apparently, the raping of slave girls is a perfect theme for a night on the town getting drunk on Black Russians.
25. "All the Young Dudes" which was performed by Mott the Hoople but I think it was written and sung by Bowie.
35. "Not Fade Away" Buddy Holly. I've got this one in my lyric quiz as well as 59. which is one of the most bittersweet songs about getting thrown in jail on Christmas ever, "Fairytale of New York" by Shane McGowen of the Pogues.
#24 is part of the pre-Tommy mini-opera "A Quick One While He's Away." Why do I only know the dirty ones? And by the way, for not posting my last guess for so long, you are forgiven.
You Know the deal people.

Taryn's got it right. Feel free to chime in any time.
#85 is "Bye Bye Bad Man" by the Stone Roses
25. "All the Young Dudes" which was performed by Mott the Hoople but I think it was written and sung by Bowie.

Could #16 be some of the exploits of Ben Folds' "Uncle Walter?"
2 is definitely JT, "Carolina in My Mind."
Say nice things about me.
#24 is part of the pre-Tommy mini-opera "A Quick One While He's Away." Why do I only know the dirty ones? And by the way, for not posting my last guess for so long, you are forgiven.
