Pickled Egg Quiz

It lost half of them

35, but you got one of the artists correct but the song title wrong.

Allegedly the first rap song.
Damned if I can remember the title but can 'see' the video.

I am sure I will feel silly with most of the others but truth be told I rarely listen to lyrics.

In order to fully expose my music memory deficiency, which is now on display with the daily heardle, I decided to cheat and read Neil's answers I duly discovered only two songs which I should have got from my days of music loving.

Spoiler: show

They were Hotel California by The Eagles and Ride a White Swam from T Rex!

So now I stand stripped of musical dignity but firmly of the belief that I gave up listening when music became more noise than melody!! ( That is an opinion, not a proven fact )

[mickthemaverick]

Having had such a poor showing on Bobins quiz I attacked today's rdles with renewed vigour, to no avail really its 4, 3, 3 and another blow out on the heardle!!

Spoiler: show

[NewcastleFalcon]

I decided to.... read Neil's answers

You will have discovered, like me when I read your post about the artist you remembered, that I was right song wrong artist on that one. Close but no cigar for me, the artist I plumped for did do a very similarly-titled song!

PS and in fascination for me the song had a who's who of session musicians including the wonderful Larry Carlton on Guitar ( a stalwart of Becker and Fagen's Steely Dan recording sessions (and number 3 on Rick Beato's best guitar solos for "Kid Charlemagne") and Wilton Felder and Joe Sample from the Crusaders.

As you were.

Not me. but I now know what four pecks make so I'll not hide my light underneath it.
