Way before my time as well and I got 9-10. I never heard of the Jamaica song or so I thought. I googled it afterwards and had heard of course it but just didnt recognize the title. so I guessed wrong.

For R cooled

The Champs
The silhowetts (sp?)
Danny & The Juniors
Chuck Berry...and also listen to Beach Boys surfin' USA...same song, different lyrics
Jerry Lee Lewis
Richie Valens
Bobby Darin
little anthoney & the imperials
Rickey Nelson
The Coasters? (only one I'm not sure about)

No, I didn't look 'em up...during my high screwall years I was a top 40 radio junkie...and later in life I used to love entering radio trivia contests. So, how'd I do?

(edit) Just don't ask me about today's pop...I wouldn't recognize a Taylor Swift song..

I got 10 out of 10, but I attribute familiarity with the songs due to the nostalgia early 70's created by movies like American Graffiti and similar TV shows.

I’m familiar with every song, but I’m drawing a blank on who sang most of them.

The band name was in the list of selections in OP's video. Name it based on these lyrics....

Oh, ratta tatta tatta
Tatta tatta too

Not quite as profound as Yesterday/Beatles lyrics but a catchy tune.

(I think Tequila is by Pee Wee Herman - I could be wrong)
