15. Wanted Dead or Alive

There's no "the" in Spirit of Radio.

I know, I put no "the" in it in my original answer, Mr Pineapple was the one who added the "the" when he made the table. So up yours.

11 The Lion Sleeps Tonight

This quiz master sucks

Another 24 hours trilby and I'll really fry your brain

Thought I'd pop back in here and see if anything sprung out.  I should have got Badge & Last Train

Can't see PP being a Tight Fit fan for 11 ... but one never knows

This is definitely his cup of tea; trying to get a fix on what he likes from the answers already. I even typed in google "bloody hard to get songs" but that didn't work

11. Rabbit

White Rabbit even?

12 Night owl walk

No I don't know that one either but old PP might.

*11 even

10 In The City or In The Heart Of The City

10 Perfect Shelter , Shelter From the Rain

10 Under the Sea

13 Born to be wild

No.

Think of another word for refugee.

For #10

And yep, these are all personal faves. Bit of 80s rock, some pop, some rock and a bit of folk too.

I'll set a deadline for tomorrow evening if any still waiting to be solved.


Didn't think it was that difficult. Maybe writing clues on 3 hours sleep in 30 hours leads to some interesting processes.

"Daysleeper" is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released as the first single from their eleventh studio album Up on October 12, 1998. Sung from the point of view of a night shift worker corresponding with colleagues, "Daysleeper" focuses on the disorientation of time and circadian rhythm in such a lifestyle, leading to despair and loss of identity. Lead singer Michael Stipe developed the song's concept after noticing a sign reading "daysleeper" on a New York City apartment door.  Nocturnal Animal  Where's the animal in this?

The Pretender?  Am I Great? Oh Yes  WTF???

Immigrant Song?  Refugees Are Welcome Here  Since when is an immigrant a refugee???  Welcome?  WTF???
