why was 2:17 sped up?

That's the version of Walk Like an Egyptian I had - a sped up dance version. Looking back, I should have taken a different tune but it's still pretty recognizable IMO.

2:29 also sounded like a dance remix, but I agree, both were very recognizable. Also, I think 3:24 belongs under 1989. It hit the Billboard Hot 100 on May 6, 1989, reaching #1 on July 15, 1989.

Thanks for the heads up, 3.24 was from 1989, I remember an old girlfriend of mine use to sing it all the time. I put a disclaimer of approximate year on the description. I went off a list I found on the internet and didn't fact check it like I'm doing with the new ones I'm making.

I loved "I Beg Your Pardon" when it came out and I had to toss something in there that most everybody would miss.

"Elvira" is one of my favourite songs ever. I am so glad you used it :)

You should change the quiz to accept the band's name. I only got 15. But if you took the band's names, I would have easily gotten more like 35.
