7 - is probably not Fairytale of New York, no matter what I'd like to believe

20 - I get knocked down by Chumbawumba, it's probably not called that though.

25 - YMCA by the Village People

27 - Bith by Meredith Brooks

30 - Let's Fall in Love by Cole Porter (sadly, the version I know is from Tank Girl)

32 - Massechussettes by the Bee Gees. Possibly.

20. It's that Chumba Wumba song "I get knocked down"
25. Village People - YMCA
30. Ella Fitzgerald - Let's do it let's fall in love
41. Aerosmith - Don't wanna miss a thing

That's it, though I'm sure when you give the answers I'll be like, oh yeah!
