MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Sep 20, 2026 #378

*We'll go all the way back to 1956 to play a song by this great American singer-songwriter and musician.  The track was released as a B-side single.  A movie about the artist featured this song and made the lyrics come to life in one of the scenes. It's all about finding one's happy place regardless of life's circumstances.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*On paper, the 2012 album by this band shouldn't really work as an album, let alone a country music album.  The music is probably best described as 'something for everybody', crossing any number of genre borders.  Stretching the Nashville sound as much or more than any artist, we'll enjoy one of those songs that introduced a reggae vibe to the band's output.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*This band's keyboard player wrote this, their 1979 hit, one that was inspired by a 1971 film directed by George Lucas of Star Wars fame.  The movie is set in the 25th century in a totalitarian state where mankind is strpped of any individuality...drifting around like numbered drones.  Name the band, the member who wrote it and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*We'll reach back to 1971 for a song about a sailor at sea thinking about returning to his lover back on land.  Normally a foghorn signals danger, but in this case, it means he is close to home and his love.  The artist that wrote and released it had a bit of a dilemma deciding how to characterize the concept of wind for the song.  Regardless, it's a beauty.  Name the artist and extra credit for the title of the song...
