MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Feb 22, 2026 #350

*This 1966 song was actually a cover from a 1965 recording by The Vogues.  While the Vogues recorded it back then, their version wasn't released until 1996.  But the great American band's 1966 release we'll enjoy this evening spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.  The song was described as a "rocker with a surf in' sound in the vocal".  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*The second album for this American soft rock band released in 1970 produced the band's first big hit.  The track is a bit saucy as it finds a guy propositioning a lady with suggestive commentary.  The title and the song was definitely ambiguous, enough so that censors cleared it for radio play.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*After the success of this band's self-titled debut in 1969, the trio struggled mightily with its demons and by 1982, they got it together enough to release a new album.  Egos, drugs and issues of control got resolved with the help of outsiders brought in to make the album, something that would also promote a few additional albums going forward.  Name the band...
 
*This serious artist lamented and acknowledged the fact that there is danger in seeming too serious following the release of his 9th album in 1989.  No stranger to expressing politics, he ultimately made a point of drifting away from such matters in order to appeal to a much larger audience.  Name the artist...
