Great teaser. Missed some because I never heard of the song.
These are so tough for me!
For example the first one I was sure was Letter Rosa. Of course, there is no such song, but I was sure there must be and perhaps I had not heard of it.
*sigh*
Great teaser!

Only got #4; never heard of 1 or 5; 2 & 3 too long to see.
Never heard of half the songs, which made it really hard to even try. Good idea, though. Perhaps next time it could be done with more traditionally well known songs.
I don't listen to music, so I didn't even try.
I never do very well with music teasers since I never pay much attention to titles or lyrics. I just know if I like the song or not. I found this teaser hard because I've only heard of the Beatles song from Cam's list. However, I think the teaser is very clever, well done, great job, Cam. Thanks for posting.
I only got the Beatles song, I never heard of the rest of them. I have to crank up the old Victrola to hear my music.
Never heard of any of them except for the Beatles song.
Too hard, so early in the morning, oops! it's 10 in the afternoon, oh well!!!
This puzzle was ridiculously hard; I was only able to get 3 and 4 without help, and I'd never even heard of 1 and 5. This is a good idea, but too difficult as presented here. I would provide enumerations, like this:
1. Rattlers So (4 6)
2. Palavering Irony (6 2 1 6)
3. Millinery Goosing (6 2
4. Betel Ti (3 2 2)
5. Absentee Fell Might (3 3 6 5)
(4 6) means a four-letter word and a six letter word, (6 2 1 6) means a six-, two-, one-, and a six-letter word in that order, and so on.

The (6 2 above should be (6 2 8 ). Dang smilies. D:
These are some good songs. I'm surprised I didn't get them all...
"Let it Be" by the B. was a fav of mines years ago. The others were unheard or unlistened. Good Teaser, mind wakening.
It has just come to my attention that the Bon Jovi song which is the answer to number 2 does not have the letter G in its title; rather, it has an apostrophe in the G's place. iTunes returns search results for both the G version and the apostrophe version of the title, but only the latter yields the Bon Jovi song.
