I have XTC and The Damned, but I'm stuck on the third one. Anyone?

Well done Elsie (assuming you got it and didn't just look at the replies!)

Here's another. I've only got #2 so far (#3 sounds like something out of The Cure's Lovecats but I don't think it is.)

Uptonspark has the first one right. No idea on the third although it's definitely not The Lovecats.

The third one is really bugging me, I'm sure I know it but can't get it far enough forward thru the brainfog. :eh:

I googled the third one. Didn't know it, but I suspect a lot of you do. Seems like a classic kumb band to me.

Yes, it's the 'middle 8' of a Blondie song - can't get a grip on which song though.

I want that man

Number 2 is not my cup of tea, but if you watched The Young Ones, it's part of their most infamous episode
