   As I suspected when I sent in my entry I had not heard most of the songs I   
   did not spot. There were a few ones I might have heard on the radio, but   
   that was long ago. The only other song to be in my collection is "Because   
   the Night", although not the original with Patti Smith, but a cover by group   
   called Garbage.   
      
   And that is the challenge with lyrics quizzes. If people have not heard   
   the song, they can't spot it. So you need to take very well-known songs,   
   if you want a good turnout.
