Here we go again with some Pop Music Trivia. I gleaned these listening to American Top 40 on XMRadio’s 70s station.
As always, here’s lyrics - and if I think the song is too popular there are fewer words quoted to make it harder - which means #2 is, I think, rather hard. Name [...]

It’s all the rage, really. Click through to see it full-sized. And if you’re too young to know the song I’m graphing… This’ll take you back:

What happens when you take a traditional Amish sewing pattern and cross it with a dashiki and an inexperienced tailor? With the vest, actually, I rather like this. (Here it is without.) This is simple unbleached muslin. I’ll be doing future versions with colour.
