In Other Words 2: Electric Boogaloo - All Finished!

Here's a fresh set for you to ponder. I've reworded the titles of twenty popular hits. Not just the 80's, however. These go from the 60's to the present. I'm still willing to bet most of you are familiar with most if not all the songs I used. See if you can identify these songs AND the artists that sang them. Again, I think some are pretty easy and some are kind of rough. Good luck!

COMPLETED

1. Going into motion through both channels
- "Moving In Stereo" - The Cars - TV9

2. Mentally sound without a word
- "Silent Lucidity" - Queensryche - PANDORA

3. Connoisseur of U.S. one-cent pieces
- "Penny Lover" - Lionel Richie - MIDAS

4. Blot the center of a planetary system
HINT! - From 2002, female solo artist

- "Soak Up The Sun" - Sheryl Crow - MIDAS

5. The chateau near Nevers where the son of the Walrus worked
HINT! - From 1984-1985, male solo artist

- "Valotte" - Julian Lennon - MIDAS

6. Contests lacking boundaries
- "Games Without Frontiers" - Peter Gabriel - FUSSBUDGET

7. Highly compressed carbon out of western Africa
- "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" - Kanye West - JESSICA

8. Retrieve the debris from down there
- "Pick Up The Pieces" - Average White Band - MOO

9. Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality. Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality.
- "Synchronicity II" - The Police - MIDAS

10. The brink of the square root of 289
- "Edge Of Seventeen" - Stevie Nicks - PAPERGIRL

11. Becoming fishing-lurish alongside a pronoun used to refer to a general condition or state of affairs
HINT! - From 1998, U.S. #1 hit. That should narrow it down enough.

- "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" - Will Smith - MIDAS

12. Circular in this very spot
- "Round Here" - Counting Crows - TV9

13. Plain globe
- "Ordinary World" - Duran Duran - PAPERGIRL

14. Frictionless malefactor
- "Smooth Criminal" - Michael Jackson - FUSSBUDGET

15. The measurement of history?s passing allies itself with me
- "Time Is On My Side" - The Rolling Stones - TV9

16. An excess of what is necessary or appropriate for a particular end
HINT! - From 1983, Australian band. I hope you Aussies are ashamed for not getting this by now.

- "Overkill" - Men At Work - TV9

17. Unlaunndered
- "Dirrty" - Christina Aguilera - MOO

18. Anticipating the descent of a fiery ball of gas
- "Waiting For A Star To Fall" - Boy Meets Girl - PAPERGIRL

19. We?re wedged at the midpoint!
- "Stuck In The Middle With You" - Stealers Wheel - MOO

20. The Sioux and the Apache
- "Two Tribes" - Frankie Goes To Hollywood - JONMAN

You misspelled #17 (or Aguilera did, depending on whose side you're on, I guess) but it's close enough for horseshoes as far as I'm concerned.

They aren't as wild as you think. Both are correct. Way to swoop down on #9 like a vulture! I can respect that.
