I need to reschedule my tai chi class so I can participate. Don't any of you people (excluding Gary, who has definite responsibilities) have jobs?

For the record, the missus and I got 2, 5, 12, 15, 16, 19 and 20. No idea on #6 or the puzzle song.

#6 is “Music” by Eric Sermon, who was half of EPMD. And it's Marvin Gaye's voice we're hearing in that clip, sampled from 1982's “Turn On Some Music” — the opening song on side two of Midnight Love, the final album of original material released in Gaye's lifetime.

Or Kid or Play. No, wait – that doesn't fit the bill… Ashford or Simpson?

Right. It could be Peaches OR Herb. Or Marylin McCoo OR Billy Davis Jr.!

I think the thing that's holding me up on 6 – is that sound in the clip could really be a male or female.
