[daibhidc]

It doesn't look like anyone else is going to have a go at the quiz, so here are the answers.

(Also, there are still 20 out of 25 pairings going spare on the housework-fic meme, if anyone wants to make a suggestion...)

Answers:

1. "The Alternative Energy Song", Mitch Benn

2. "Pathway to Paradise", Soul Music soundtrack

3. "Size Zero", Mitch Benn

4. "Peace and Quiet", Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden
(Um ... this one was made extra difficult by me somehow missing the first half of the verse and writing down the fifth and sixth lines...)

5. "We Poor Labouring Men", Steeleye Span

6. "Spiralling Shape", They Might Be Giants

7. "The Edge of the World", Runrig - Got by speakr2customrs

8. "It's Not For Me", Dougie Maclean

9. "Hearts of Olden Glory", Runrig - Got by speakr2customrs

10. "How Many Planets?", They Might Be Giants

11. "Rubbish", Mitch Benn

12. "Get Me Out", Dougie Maclean

13. "Take It All Away", Mitch Benn

14. "Well Done Liar", Steeleye Span

15. "I'll Keep Coming Home", Runrig - Got by speakr2customrs

16. "New York City", They Might Be Giants

17. "Big Fat John", Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden

18. "We Are Not Alone", Only You Can Save Mankind: The Musical soundtrack
(Yeah, possibly the most obscure thing here, which is saying something. There are probably obsessive Pterry fans who have no idea this exists; I forget how I learnt about it, but it wasn't the usual channels.)

19. "I Am A Paleontologist", They Might Be Giants

20. "John of Ditchford", Steeleye Span

21. "She Won't Change Her Mind", Soul Music soundtrack - Got by silly_swordsman

22. "James K. Polk", They Might Be Giants

23. "The Very Hungry Catarpillar", Mitch Benn

24. "An Cuibhle Mor", Runrig - Got by speakr2customrs

25. "What Are We Waiting For?", Only You Can Save Mankind: The Musical soundtrack

26. "The Long Road", Dougie Maclean

27. "The Cutter", Runrig Got by speakr2customrs

28. "Unplugged", Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden

29. "Naughty", Mitch Benn

30. "Almost Always Falling", Dougie Maclean


So yeah, comedy songs, folk music and TMBG. Nothing that would have actually charted...

speakr2customrs is the winner with 5 because there were five Runrig songs. And silly_swordsman is second with 1 because my musical tastes are super-obscure.

Nope, didn't get a single one. Sorry.

Sadly I have never heard any of these. I've heard other stuff by TMBG and Steeleye Span, but not those songs :(
