Name That Tune

December 14, 2007 -

It's Friday again, and you know what that means... sometimes Greg posts a quiz. This one's a bit different. It's all audio. So click here, listen to the ten clips, and try to guess what song each one is.

I tried to make this fairly easy - the clips are all about 20 seconds long and none of the songs are super-obscure. I did choose from a big variety of genres though. Enjoy!

The Gorillaz song is called Feel Good Inc.
The first one sounds like Baby, Please Don't Go, but I am not a hundred percent. Is it Van Morrison or John Lee Hooker?
