I can't believe I didn't get 6 or 12! I did have 4 narrowed down to "I think it's Paul Simon..." I did recognize this one instantly, and was sure someone would have answered by the time I had time to make the comment:

8) Ana Ng - They Might Be Giants

#10: The Police "Can't Stand Losing You" (I think the lyrics actually start with "I" -- "I called you so many times today, and I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say"

#7: Pet Shop Boys "Left To My Own Devices"

And now I'm going out in my own awesome red jacket with a friend who's a party animal. :)
