    7. Mrs. Robinson

    I want to say Urge Overkill. In fact, I'm going to say it: Urge Overkill.

    But it looks wrong.

    Apart from the Lemonheads one that's the only answer I know and I don't even know if I know that.

    Good quiz though, would play again

    The Metallica cover is Am I Evil. Pass on the others.

    Decent, albeit hard quiz though, cheers.
