4-  chewing gum
5- Puff the Magic Dragon

Quite so, Scorcher. I'll update the questions once a few more people have a chance to read the list without answers. My problem now is that, having dug up some old memories, the tunes keep going around-and-around in my brain.

[scorcher]

As indeed does the tune and synthesized voice in question 2! Archie or very similar?

Is No. 3 The Lady swallowed the goat but she swallowed the cow to eat the goat?

Sorry don't remember Nos 1 and 2 knew 4 and 5 though.  Obviously showing my age, but there again my kids (in their 20s) know all these songs as well!!

Probably wrong!

[scorcher]

...and pretty sure that Cheers is on track with the Burl Ives number !

No. 2- Sparky

[Colwyn]

There was an old woman who swallowed a goat and Sparky had a magic piano. Well done. A clue for No. 1 - the band were hot pursuit of that (alleged) villain Sid, although there was a popular public campaign that insisted he was innocent.
