The song, as covered by Southside Johnny, was the theme song for the 1990s US television sitcom "Dave's World," and was also covered by Garth Brooks, Keith Urban and The Vindictives. Acker Bilk was an English clarinet player who had the top selling 1962 UK hit with the song "Stranger On the Shore." This instrumental also became the first song by a British artist to reach number one in the US on the modern Billboard top 100 pop chart.

From Quiz Wine, Cigarettes And Old Songs

29. Different song, same title. One is a celebration of life by Christian rock band P.O.D. and the other, by Anastacia, became the official song for the 2002 FIFA World Cup (soccer). What is the title?

From Quiz Too Good to Waste

Answer: Boom

"Boom" has regularly been used by P.O.D. as the concert opener and, in the words of their guitarist Marcos Curiel, "it is a song that encourages people to be happy and thankful that they're alive". In light of these words it then seems rather ironic then that the song was deemed inappropriate for airplay by Clear Channel Communications after the September 11 (2001) attacks. The song became the third single from their 2002 album "Satellite" and, whilst it did not perform as well on the charts as its predecessors, the explosive nature of its chorus has made it a most sought after song for both video games and movie soundtracks. Also released in the same year was Anastasia's song, which was co-written by Glen Ballard. It appears on Anastacia's second studio album "Freak of Nature".

30. Which artist wrote and performed the song "Blinded by the Light" on his 1973 album "Greetings From Asbury Park N.J."?

From Quiz Light Songs From THE LIGHTHEARTED

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

Springsteen's recording was released as a single, but it did not do well and never made the charts. It was Manfred Mann's version, which included some lyric changes, that rose to number one on Billboard's Hot 100 and the RPM Chart in Canada in February of 1977. Question submitted by Trigger7
