| Good teaser, but I think the hint made some of them a little to easy (Dolly Parton's for example).. Not sure how to make it not give it away.. maybe someone else has some ideas! Still a great one though!  |

| Good quiz but I was surprized you didn't have a Beatles song in there.
On the "Beatles for Sale" Album there was "Eight Days a Week"  |
