#19 is by Billy Joel, I think, but I can't remember which song. (I know, doesn't count.)

#20 is "Leaving on a Jet Plane," which I think Peter Paul and Mary did at some point, along with a whole bunch of others.

#24 is also Billy Joel--I think you're in a rut--um... "Something in the Way About Her," maybe? I can sing the whole song, just can't remember the title.

iTunes is in a rut. :-) but: wrong, right, and right enough - you and mali can both have that one.

Just googled #19, and should've got it, darn it. I just listened to that tape recently.
