    (3) Her name was {name of song) and she lived in a meadow by a pond

    And she touched me for a moment, with a look that spoke to me of her sweet love

    But, staying with her and my little bit of wisdom

    Broke down her desire, like the light through a prism...

    I believe the title was Joanne, but I can't remember who recorded it...

    Hey Neon,

    You're not mad, man.It was Joanne and was written & recorded by Mike Nesmith.

    Neon, correct on all four counts (two titles, two artists). Bob Dylan wrote Blowin' In The Wind, but the most recognized recording of it is the one of Peter, Paul and Mary.

    A little bit of rock 'n' roll trivia for the youngsters: Mike Nesmith was one of the Monkees.

    "At school they taught me how to be/so pure in the thought and word and deed/They didn't quite succeed"

    Pet shop Boys - Its a sin

    "She's got herself a universe/Gone quickly/For the call of thunder/Threatens everyone"

    Madonna - Ray of light

    "So you feel misunderstood/Baby, have I got news for you/On being used, I could write the book/You don't wanna hear about it"

    Cher - strong enough

    "Touch him/With the gentleness you feel inside/Your love can't be denied/The truth will set you free"

    Celine Dion - Tell him

    so much confusion/when autumn comes around/What to do about October?/How to smile behind a frown?/It's hard to settle down

    Pet Shop Boys - My October Symphony

    I have no idea what the rest are...

    "I see your face before me, as I lay on my bed. I kinda get to thinking, of all the things you said. You gave your promise to me, and I gave mine to you."

    I've always loved this song.

    Spice: i have no idea about any of your snippets, but....

    all the ones you answered on my killer list is correct, however, I'm so surprised you got "My October Symphony"...but you didn't get 6 or 9 (hint hint)....

    I'll give it until Monday night (my time) and I'll post the answers to the rest....

    Cowboy, right again on Garth.

    Now, what about that third one, folks? Lots and lots of airplay, extremely well-known band, one of their greatest hits, video on MTV, the whole schmiel. You'd like to have a dollar for every time you've heard this song.

    So never judge a book by it's cover
    Or who you're going to love by your lover
    Love put me wise to her love in disguise
    She had the body of a venus
    Lord imagine my surprise

    Aw, for crying out loud, you want it delivered up on a silver platter? Maybe I should provide a sound bite, huh? Here ya go...

    (Baby let me follow you down) - (the other band members sing this)Let me take a peak, dear
    (Baby let me follow you down)
    Do me, do me, do me, all night
    (Baby let me follow you down)
    Turn the other cheek, dear
    (Baby let me follow you down)
    Do me - do me - do me - do me

    Oooh... what a funky lady
    Oooh, she like it, like it, like it like that
    Oooh he was a lady
    Yeow... wak ak ak ak ow
