    #3 is also correct. I actually remember watching this video and Vanilla Ice’s classic defense of the difference between his song and Freddie/David’s song. And then he appeared in Ninja Turtle movies...

    I'm not a Nirvana fan, so I had to look that one up.

    2. More Than A Feeling / Smells Like Teen Spirit

    Correct, you’re up @deckerp since you got 3 out of 5.
    FYI - #4 was “Express Yourself” (Madonna) and “Born This Way” (Lady Gaga).

    Current song on Classic AT40 countdown from 01/31/1981. Some of the clues sound like what I'm looking for.

    This group may be interested. Sirius/XM Radio has free access this holiday week. I'm not sure when that started or when it ends, but they do this a few times during the year, usually during holiday weeks like this.

    I thought I'd try this.

    Take two (or more) facts and make an equation. When you add them together you get the answer.

    Examples:

    Abba + Napoleon = Waterloo

    Elton John + The Wizard of Oz = Yellow Brick Road

    Post the addition problem without the answer. The person who answers the question earns the honor of posting the next Rock 'n' Roll Arithmetic problem.

    Here goes...

    The Police + Neil Armstrong =

    Walking on the Moon

    I would say that answer is correct. It's the first post Snookeroo made when he started this thread.

    It seems we've bogged down, maybe due to holidays. @frankshort2333 Can you give us a new one?

    OK. I'll throw one out there. I heard this on the way to work. I think it was a one hit wonder.
