    @deckerp & @Watching_The_Wheels , once again: so close, were it a snake it'd have bit ya! :smile:

    Collated answers thus far:
    1. Secret Seraphim, ? ?
    2. That that shall happen will happen, Que sera, sera, Doris Day
    3. Tazan :heart: Jane, Jungle Love, Morris Day

    4. What do the artists have in common: named Day

    So, the only other “Day” I can think of is Green Day but I can’t come up up with a song that fits the clues...

    2. That that shall happen will happen, Que sera, sera, Doris Day

    This artist had some hits about the same time as Alan O'Day and Undercover Angel.

    I didn't know the definition I used with sooth below, so you may need to do some digging. I had a bit of a time coming up with a clue for the artist.

    Lion of the Zodiac + (a person who predicts the future - sooth) / Quantity of Affection = [artist/song]

    I’m pretty confident the artist is Leo Sayer but not as confident that the song is More Than I Can Say (1 of only 2 songs I know from him)...

    Leo Sayer is the correct artist. He had quite a few hits, some not as big as others.

    The song title is a question about the quantity of affection. "Da da da, for heaven's sake..." where "da da da" is the title.

    Yes. I guess Leo Sayer and Alan O'Day were bigger in Iowa or something. :smile:

    4-way mash-up (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 4 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 4 connecting songs.
    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    1. Dire Straits
    2. Sinéad O’ Connor
    3. AC/DC
    4. Little Richard

    I'm having problems putting any songs together on this one. Of the bands listed I think Bananarama had the fewest hits, so I figured maybe that'd be the best place to start.

    1. Crosby, Stills, and Nash
    2. Bad Company
    3. Bananarama - Cruel Summer or Venus?
    4. The Mothers of Invention
