No one has taken a stab at 3 and 6, but you'll kick yourselves when you find the answer out.  4 might be a stretch but it is, IMHO, a classic, I'll give you a clue, it was the theme music for an early sixties TV show. Clue for nine  they also had a hit in a rainbow valley.

I'll give the answers tomorrow.

No.3 Shake Rattle and Roll..Bill Hailey and the Comets I think...remember singing along to this and other similar records of my parents when I was a little girl. Used to belt out the song whether I knew the lyrics or not or just sang something that sounded like what I thought it said. Still im sure what I made up couldnt have been any stranger than the actual lyrics!

Mrs Pops thinks that No 9 is The Love Affair....Bringing on back the good times.

I think 6 is the same as 3. Shake Rattle and Roll.

Big Joe Turner, Bill Haley and Elvis

Is that Albatross the instrumental from Fleetwood Mac?

Ha ha - of course,      I thought there was a vocal bit at the beginning ......

I wake this morning to find that nine out of ten of the songs have been cracked, but no one has come up with an answer, or even a suggestion, to number four...even with the benefit of a clue.  So here is another a space adventure with strings attached.....come on you must get it now.

Will post the full answers later today, when hopefully we have an answer, or an attempt at an answer to four!!
