_jr_ Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 For the Van Halen one, I got "Ain't Talkin' Bout Dub", by Apollo 440. Still I would've only had nine RATS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I also had that one wrong, I read it was a song by 2 Live Crew - the original bad boys of rap! (but they had stolen the sample and a huge court case ensued....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt_Acid Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 What other band name is a palindrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I only got six right this time, only because I forgot about that "Mickey" song. Can you blame me? Anyway, the term "cheerleader" was used very generously in that question. Those were actually COWS in short high school uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I didn't. It just popped into my head. Weird. Wasn't there a band in the 80's actually called 'The Cheerleaders'? If so, do they count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
