You Can't Kill It! Cars & Tunes Redux - Solved!

[Otto Puzzell]

Back from the dead, it's another puzzle about cars, and songs about cars, or songs that mention cars or driving, and the artists who recorded those songs. This installment again spans the scale from "this is ridiculously easy" to "what, are you kidding me?!

The rules are thus: No points for naming one of these vehicles - they are all quite easy. The points will be awarded for identifying the artist (1 point each), the song (1 point each), and the correct pairing (1 point each) as represented by a corresponding picture of a car, or an automotive event. While many of these artist have gone onto more mundane walks of life, or that recording studio in the sky, and their records may be long-since out-of-print, there are no insider-only "you have to have the book" requirements. Patience and good detective work is all that is required to find the solution to all of these. The answers are all available to the general public.

Here they are - enjoy!
