Well, that's Tainted Love. Being of a certain age, I'm most familiar with the Soft Cell version.

8) Don't go for second best baby, put your love to the test
It's by Madonna. It's off the Like a Prayer album. But I can't for the life of me think what the song is. Aagh.

*thinks*
Express Yourself?

17) Take a back seat, hitch-hike, take a long long ride on my motorbike
Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen.

19) He got the action, he got the motion. Yeah, the boy can play
Dire Straits, Walk of Life

22) Promise me son not to do the things I've done. Walk away from trouble if you can.
Kenny Rogers, Coward of the County, by any chance?

25) I heard you on the wireless back in '52.
Video Killed the Radio Star. The Buggles version being the one with which I'm most au fait.

26) We'll be singing when we're winning
Tubthumping by Chumbawumba.

29) I'm not the world's most physical guy. When she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine.
I'd guess at Lola by the Kinks, but I could be wrong.

30) ANd when the king was looking down, the jester stole his party crown.
American Pie. By Don McLean. Accept no Madonna-ish substitutes...

Some are pretty easy to spot (that's if you're over 30 anyway!)
Well, I'm 34 and I struggled with most of them...

David.

2) "An Airborne leaf that landed near, has carried Dionysys here."
3) "echoes with the sounds of salesmen"
4) "Slowly walking down the hall, Faster than a cannon ball"
5) "So all alone I keep the wolves at bay"
6) "the mullet is the reason why people hate you"
7) "Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals"
8) " I look just like Buddy Holly"
9) Don't go around tonight, its bound to take your life"
