I missed the meme! Would have caught #7, but not any of the other unguessed ones.

As I said in the meme comments, I should have known 7, 9, and 19 for sure. I own those songs, darnitall. The others, not so much, as I either know the artist but not the song, or I knew the poem but not the artist/song title....
