Good ONE, well done and fun.
Darn, I didn't even get half of them! But I should have. GREAT TEASER!
Fortunately, I did get them ALL! I will have to admit, though.... there will certainly come a day when ALL or any of this music will be archaic! Great teaser! Anyway.
YAY!! I got them all and I loved this teaser! Brought back some cool memories! Great job!

Good one, beatlesgirl. Pretty hard
That was a lot of fun! great teaser
Fun one! It always feels good to nail every answer - especially when it's not that easy. Thanks!
I don't usually like ones with numbers in em but this was fun. How could I have missed so many!
Excellent teaser! Keep up the good work!
I agree that this was a fun teaser.Make me want to get up and dance!!
I really liked this one. Good job!!
finally - i found my niche - got them all.... 4tune it 4 me
Very Interesting.By the way,you are revealing your age.
Wonderful! Now I'm humming!
Nothing like good music to start the morning. Neat teaser too. Thanks. More please?
They were easy when I thought it over for a couple of minutes, thanks
I am so totally out of touch it is embarassing. I didn"t get any of them.
What a great teaser.
If you want it harder don't give the bands, or only give initials for them too.

cute,cute,cute! good job!
Fun, but I just gave up and looked at the answers. I don't listen to much music, but I recognized some of these songs.
very fun. thanks
Well, I guess I'm the first one to say I was clueless!! I was, however, able to sing every single word to every song that Johnny Mathis sang on PBS on TV last night ! Must be an age thing, huh??
I got most of them. I'd never heard of Wilson Pickett though! Fun teaser.
got them all except Shania Twain-I absolutely can't stand country music. Good fun!
Looks like we made it~
Look how far we've come, my baby~
We might've took the long way~
We knew we'd get there some day~
(Still the One -Shania Twain)
(I hate country too, but this song has always been touching to me...)

Super easy for me! Thanks!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got all but the last one. I never heard of that Beatles song.
Nice, fun, teaser thanks!
I managed to solve most of them.

Pretty good. In general, I like these types of something = letters teasers. I don't like that it was a topic of numbers, yet 3 of them were just "one". There are other songs with numbers that could've been used. And for Love Potion #9, I think it should've been L P N N to make it a bit more challenging. Why give the actual number? Overall, thumbs up, but could be better.
