MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Jun 29, 2025 #321

*This 1972 song only achieved modest chart position which was quite the poor indicator of its lasting popularity.  The song was written by the great Craig Fuller who insists the song isn't about the character named in the title.
Name the band that released it and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*When this band made their debut 40 years ago with their 1984 self-titled album featuring one of their big hits, they were compared to the likes of the band, Loverboy...and not in the best of ways.  One critic called out the lead singer's voice as 'high. hysterical screaming.'  The critic got it all wrong as the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll HOF in 2018.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the screaming singer...
 
*The 405...the much traveled California freeway.  There are probably more than a few songs about it, but one in particular has an aspect of the song re-interpreted due in part to Austin Powers movies.  Make the connection as you name the song and the band that performed it in 1971...
 
*The older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of the band AC/DC was in a kind of one-hit wonder band who released this 1966 hit that he co-wrote.  He described the song as reminiscent of the days where the band members lived in hotels in Sydney as 'New Australians.'  They would hang out for the end of the week because that is 'when the fun began!'   Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
