Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 1/4 - Rock Quiz 5

I'm about halfway through the latest proofing of my near 200,000 word rock n roll epic, Rising Star. I'm not finding many errors, but I'd hoped there would be none so that it would be ready for submission. I've made minor changes, mostly to clarify who is speaking. Nut that I am, I'll probably go over the whole thing once more.
Each chapter begins with a quote from a song. Here are the next ten. Name the song and artist. Degree of difficulty in parenthesis. Answers at the end of the blog.
41 "...Of course I've had it in my ear before...." (8)
42 "...This is the mystery of the quotient/Upon us all a little rain must fall...." (7)
43 "...Rape, murder, it's just a shot away...." (5)
44 "...And though the course may change sometimes/Rivers always reach the sea...." (9)
45 "...True love ....Is the devil's bombshell...." (10)
46  "...And you may ask yourself/ Am I right? Am I wrong?" (8)
47. “What’s your Name? Who’s your Daddy?” (2)
48 "...Everybody must get stoned...." (2)
49 "...Now you don't seem so proud...." (3)
50 "...All my crimes are self defense...." (10)
 
It rained today, putting the kibosh on the floating book shop, which has been in operation only three of the first 14 days of 2014. I filled the hours by working on my wood floor, on my knees scrubbing out the paint spots and grime with an SOS pad. I'm almost done with this phase. There remains the corner where I have four large boxes of books, then I will mop with bleach, and see how it looks before deciding what to do next. It's no easy task but it's been worth it. It already looks infinitely better than it did when I first pulled up the rug. Unfortunately, it doesn't stand up to close inspection.
