    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.
    **Level of difficulty - Moderate to High**
    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. Suzanne Vega
    2. The Shirelles
    3. The Cure
    4. Janis Joplin

    1. Suzanne Vega -- Luka (I don't think this works)
    2. The Shirelles
    3. The Cure -- Close To Me
    4. Janis Joplin -- Me and Bobby McGee

    0 for 4, sorry. Probably a little more difficult than expected. Maybe a clue for song #2 will help get it started. And remember - Google research is not cheating, particularly when you don’t admit to it...

    Song #2 = “Army Male”

    That clue suggests Queen and Private to me. I don't see any songs by Suzanne Vega with those words in the title. Hmmm.

    I found Janis Joplin had Cry Baby.

    Looking for a song by a duet from 1986. With a little background knowledge of these bands you can give me the two in the duet and the song. This male and female (in that order) sang one duet and are related to these bands.

    Chicago + Pure Prairie League = [singers / song]

    The duet has a male singer from Chicago and a female singer who is married to a singer from Pure Prairie League. That should help.
