    Oh! Good one (had to cogitate on Cars for a while)
    in lieu of a guess (and assuming I'm on the right track) I'll through out another couple of adtl. clues:

    I'm thinking....

    Sammy Davis, Jr. -- The Candy Man
    The Cars -- Candy-O
    The Four Seasons -- Candy Girl (research required here :( )
    New Edition -- Candy Girl (research here too)
    Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy

    Candy is correct. Thanks for showing your work...and for the extra credit.

    The band is probably easy, but the song may take a second clue or research.

    Deborah Harry + Elisha Gray = [band/song]

    yeah, I totally had to reasearch EG (and I'm not ashamed of it...learned something new!)

    Blondie / Call Me

    and because no good deed will go unpunished


    Hey I just met you
    And this is crazy
    But here's my number

    Correct.

    I look at http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history every morning and just a few days ago was when Bell got his patent and Gray didn't.

    I just glossed over your post and just realized that would have been a good riddle: Blondie + Carlie Rae Jepsen = [song]

    Okay..this one may take some research and Spreadsheet (but then it is called 'Rock 'n' Roll Arithmetic' , isn't it)
    g1352867703328763869.jpg

    With so many song titles here, I think the fun might be in the collaborative effort:
    No Spoilers!...If you have an answer, but not all the answers, post what you got!..I'm sure together you'all can get this..

    Try it with out invoke the lords at Google
    Ready..Good Luck! (and no wagering..but do remember to tip your waitress..just don't tip her over)


    Rules: The numbers from the first 6 songs are multiplied by each other in geometric progression
    The 7th song is then divided by the product of the first 6
    The last (8th) number is the answer to the last song.


    ___ : Hagarian Limit
    x ___ : Adams Summder
    x ___ : Paul & Art's Bridge to Queensboro
    x ___ : Commodores exponential Woman
    x ___ : Berry's Route
    x ___ : only this 'Withers'-ing Duo

    I know the 3rd song as Feeling Groovy although the actual title is something like "59th Bridge..."
