Here are the answers:

    - The Who
    "Baba O'Riley" - CSI New York
    "Won't Get Fooled Again" - CSI Miami
    "Who Are You?" - CSI Original Flavor

  • What famous band has a guitarist who performs in a schoolboy uniform?
    - AC/DC

  • What popular 2001 song was named after something you might see on a Chinese menu?
    - Chop Suey by System Of A Down

  • What was the first song with all Spanish lyrics to hit #1 in the US?
    - "La Bamba" by Los Lobos

  • What Motown song was inspired by one of Jackie Gleason's sayings?
    - "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" by Marvin Gaye

    - Da Da Da by Trio

    - American Pie
    Dazed And Confused is also a good answer, but not what we were looking for.

  • What US #1 hit has a kind of bird in the title?
    - "When Doves Cry" by Prince
    I liked this question. Great guesses were "Mockingbird" and "Rockin' Robin," but those never hit #1.

  • Who is the only artist to have 2 #1 singles released after he/she died?
    - Notorious B.I.G.
    "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money, Mo Problems"

  • What Bob Dylan song has been covered by Eric Clapton, Neil Young, U2, The Dave Matthews Band and The Grateful Dead.
    - "All Along The Watchtower"

Fly Robin Fly would also be correct, and you're probably right about Boogie Nights as well. We put questions like that in there from time to time where there might be more than one right answer. I should have posted those in the answers.

Dazed And Confused is a Rock classic, but it was not a "hit." We have to make judgment calls on these a lot. Watch "Jeopardy" sometime, and you'll see how often they have to go to judges and figure out if an answer they didn't have in mind is right. Coming up with good questions is not easy.
