Just takin' a break from CNN. I don't believe these songs ever caused my parents any grief -they were dancing to them too!
Hate to say it - 30/30.
In addition to being old, I'm a musician.

28 of 30 - but the two that I got wrong, I knew I was guessing on.

#25 and #28 were my downfall.

Some seemed too easy to be for real.

[Ned]

I feel old. I got them all.

[mercwyn]

I managed 25 right. I had to guess on a number of the ones about marriages, etc.
