The Robot quiz looks like it may run for a while, so here's a little diversion. The solutions are titles of 'one hit wonder' records in random order from the 1960's onwards. Two guesses per day each, I'll try to fill in the correct answers as usual, and feel free to give the group/artist as well, though there aren't extra points for doing so...

(3) We may not see tomorrow...Eve Of Destruction
