See China Right In Front of You

I’m on the road this Friday, so today’s Friday 10 is a little less ornate than usual. But the game is still on! Last week’s champion was Fred with two lyrics identified.
Here’s this week’s 10 — get in the comments and identify the artist and the song! Edit: The answers are now posted below and over on this handy YouTube playlist! Remember: No searching for the answers, and I give credit if you can identify a cover as long as it’s one I can find. Let’s gooo!

  1. 5. “Lonely People” by America
    7. “Heart of Glass” by Blondie
    8. “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper
    10. “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen

    I can’t quite place 1, 3, and 4.

  2. Ah! I see what I did there on #5. In my brain it scanned to the America song, but speed it up with the actual lyrics you posted, and it’s “Layla” by Clapton (or maybe his Derek and the Dominos version?).
