And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway


10. We'll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smiling bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations

Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck! (I almost put this one down for #9, and was really hoping it was #10....)

How I mixed up "Moonlight Feels Right" with #4("Space Truckin'", Deep Purple) is as inexplicabel as it is embarassing.

9. "Dancing in the Moonlight", King Harvest (lb better get this one right--they're using this song in Wal-Mart commericals )

Spoiler

I hate that commercial.

Yeah, we're doing more at night alright.... and not getting a damn bit more help to do it....

Bonus: What is the actual constellation name for the title of song #6?
Crux. The four main stars are positioned almost perfectly at top, bottom, left, and right to form a small cross in the sky. Unfortunately, since I live halfway up the northern hemisphere, they are always below the horizon for me.

Double Bonus: One half of the duo that sang song #1 is the brother of a member of another duo that had (marginally) more success. (Got all that?) Which member of the first duo (including last name) is it, and what was the name of his brother's band?
England Dan is Dan Seals, brother of Jim Seals from Seals and Crofts

Final Bonus: What name does the singer of song #5 currently go by?
Yusuf Islam. (No, I didn't subtract points for spelling.) Two points were awarded to kroxquo for calling him "Ayatollah something". I wasn't aware of him reverting back to Cat Stevens, so if anybody thinks these points actually matter for anything (that's right -- these points are about as important as underwear is to Paris Hilton), post a link to the news event and I'll give you your 10 points.
