A birthday music quiz

So Christy is officially 33! For her birthday, and her party, I made her a compilation of music with a song (or two) from each year of her life. I used this to quiz her and the other guests since she is a music whiz.

Here's what I had: songs listed below were on the CD. I played a snippet of each to see if she and the other guests knew what it was. I also had a bonus question for a song from most of the years. . .see how well you do. **Now updated with answers**
