So, rather than work, I'll present to you a long-overdue QUIZ! Yes, yes, you thought that they were gone, and they certainly are endangered, but I did collect a couple of names of tunes, so hey! Why not!
I warn you - these may be all over the place, and I've collected more than the usual clump, so rather than save them all up and dole them out sensibly in small chunks, I'll blow them all today. :)

My mind's such a sweet thing2
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Like a king without a castle3
Like a queen without a throne
I’m an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Don't let your aim ever stray4
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I5
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
What's your name?6
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
It was a night like this forty million years ago7
I lit a cigarette picked up a monkey start to go.
The sun was spitting fire
the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice."
New York, London, Paris, Munich8
Everybody talk about...
I’ve given up, stop. I ’ve given up, stop.9
I’ve given up, stop. on waiting any longer
I’ve given up, on this love getting stronger
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying10
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Suzy was in pig tails,11
I know I loved her even then.
You know my papa disapproved it,
My mama boohooed it
There is freedom within, there is freedom without12
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Well I've been afraid of changin'13
because I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin',14
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'.
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams,
So I'll propose... on Halloween.
I understand just a little15
No comprende, it's a riddle
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean

I have #6 in my head, it's a groovy tune, but I have no idea what it's called or who it's by.
You used my favourite lyric of all time!!! But someone has already guessed it. (Don't Dream It's Over)
#10 is Spooky but I don't know the artist.

Ooh, I shoulda known #6. Great tune.
