I'm willing to extend this an additional 8 hours if anyone else is interested in playing. So far 3 persons have guessed, making for little competition all around.... [Confused]

"What? Would you prefer nursery rhymes?"

Does it help that I would have gotten three of them if I had ever listened to them?

They are all rather common songs you hear on the radio...can't say half of what Spike was playing ever made it across the pond.
