Green Onions was released in 1962..

[shinydan.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it didn't chart until the 80s. I think. 8#

Indeed so; I remember it charting and thinking how out of place it sounded.

As a point of honour, I would just like to say I got 7 out of 10 without googling.

That's a coincidence; so did I. Which 3 did you fail on? Mine were 4,9 and 10.

[the-hatstand.livejournal.com]

4, 5 & 9.
