5. This is your heroine praying to "St. Genevieve".
9. We saw some of these on a hike in the Alps! And I sang the song! And got THE EYEROLL!
11. LMAO!!! You're never gonna stop the rain by complainin'!
13. Does it count if the name of the song is embedded in the lyrics?
14. We can build a beautiful city -- yes we can! Yes, we can!
17. Take me home country roads
20. I cried this song to my youngest charge when I left her to come home and she went with her family back to Switzerland... (An American Tail makes me cry! It's true!)
22. You're toying with me? ...where it's like the twilight zone!
23. You are toying with me! Do you think the Wizard is dumb? Or like munchkins so small minded? No!

#13 DaDooRonRon is correct. I have versions by both The Carpenters and Shaun Cassidy.
#20 Somewhere Out There
The others are correct!

Your answers are all correct, except the one below.
