2) Sparks, title is something like 'For the girl who has everything'??? Which means 21) is Sparks, but no idea of the song title.
I'll give you that one as you are so close. "Its Something For The Girl With Everything,"Another two down.
3.) “I know you’ve put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know,”
5.) “She purrs just like a kitten, she seems to throb with pride, gives you the feeling you’ve been taken for a ride,”
6.) “Send you up the river like your looking for Kurtz, I got the mugawump jizm up and ever reverse,”
7.) “You’re the tray of nice things I upset yesterday. The display of bright rings that I let slip away,”
11.) “A walking monument to DNA, making love under the podium at the PTA, he’s the principle of Principals, its love gone bad,”
14.)“You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza, you’re so afraid to catch a dose of influenza,”
15.) “In the event there is over-excitement, your seat cushion maybe used as a floatation device. We ask that you please observe the No Letting Go sign”,
16.) “I used to make my living by picking the banana, now I’m a guide for the CIA. Hooray for the USA!”
17.) “She’s got a thing about carving wood, shaping a figure from a lump of mud,”

Answers. With videos for your Sunday morning pleasure too.
Not bad for an album featuring their usual mix of songs about social embarrassment but also featuring one song guaranteed to get banned, one a square dance about a returning soldier from WW1 and another camp classic set to a big band beat about fashion.
Plus this tune about America becoming a fascist state and features the lyric in the quiz, that I feel is one of the oddest in pop music.
Err..... enjoy?

Careful. If you listen to this song more than once, you'll be singing it all day.

The bonus one was the very bizarre Hospitality On Parade by Sparks. After the success of the Kimono My House and Propaganda, I always wondered if Indiscreet was an attempt by the band to give Island Records an album so odd that they would terminate their contract. Of course, now it's seen as one of their experimental masterworks by the critics instead of an attempt at career suicide.Secret Meeting - The National
