Wow, I guess everyone's done "Helter Skelter"...

fraterrisus, you should have quoted "Charles Manson stole this from the Beatles - we're stealing it back" to narrow it down :)

[fraterrisus]

Too much of a giveaway ;)

[fraterrisus]

1 point cleanup on #10
2 points each #18, #19

[missionista]

Just another 2 cents--Motley Crue also covered Helter Skelter...

#6 is bugging me, because I can HEAR it in my head, and I absolutely know it, and it's "that" song, but I can't possibly tell you title/artist.

#3 is the Wallflowers, Sixth Avenue Heartache, but I'm not sure who's on backup vocals.

[fraterrisus]

Two points out of three -- bonus point still available here :)

[wanderyng1]

Didn't Adam Duritz sing backup on that song?

[fraterrisus]

Bingo!

[fennel]

#2 is "Sammy Davis Jr." by Movits! -- "International Version", natch.

[fraterrisus]

If anyone was going to get this, it was going to be you. :)

four points!

[crs]

So why is this double?

[fraterrisus]

Because the original song is in Swedish. As fennel points out, this is from the "International version", which has an English chorus.
