All right, I'm putting this to bed. #21 is "Presence of Love" by the Alarm. Thanks for playing, and see you at Cover Me next Monday.

Robert Palmer is correct. One left, and I'd bet dollars to donuts half of you have their best-of. Which, ironically, does not include this song. (Hint: it was also a Bottom Feeder.)

So glad to see that clue. I was sure it was SHE WATCH CHANNEL ZERO, and when I realized the theme, I thought I was going crazy.

Bingo!

DavidMedsker — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:56:40 -0000

The funny thing is, the three songs you guessed all have something in common besides the quiz's main theme. Look at 9 and 17, and you'll figure out 8.

Ding ding ding! "City of Crime" is correct. I knew one of you Popdosers would get it. Congrats, Matthew.

All guesses so far are correct, except for Slayer. (Right band, wrong song.)
