Oh and just because I like being a smartarse, just in case you wanted the early 1960s original of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" instead, that was The Tokens.

Tight Fit aren't who I'm looking for for 7 I'm afraid.
I'll accept Mikachu and the Shapes for Golden Phone, though technically I believe it was just released under their stage name, spelled Micachu.

A very strong lead for Mr. B, but it is still anyone's game.

Apologies to McManusFan, I missed your Mozart answer, which is correct.

If anyone gets all the remaining three, they can still tie with Jim.

Can I break with tradition and offer the next list to McManusFan (if he wants it of course)? I win too many of these and I don't think McManusFan has got to set one yet.

If people are alright with that, I can think of one for this afternoon.

As an added bonus, I'm off out very shortly, so I won't be rushing in and nicking all the easy ones before anyone else has a chance to see them!

I think 6 might be Gil Scott-Heron? A local band (to me), The Tyrell Corporation also did a track called The Bottle but I think the Gil Scott-Heron one is more likely. Biro Funk is vaguely familiar but I can't think from where. Tough list!
