LIST LESS CORN / TOOTH OVERBITE / LEAN SLEAZE SELLS
- title / musician / author
- link to the previous scramble: the title (as originally written) contains a number in spelled-out form
- the musician wrote a song with this title, and the author wrote a book using this title
- the book, also made into a film, is the more famous of the two
- nevertheless, the musician is very, very well known

Argghhh! Albedo swooped in while I was perfecting my answer with this little tidbit: "Apparently the name is spelled "Feivel" in the opening credits and "Fievel" in the closing credits."

Over to you, AoZ :D

TASTING CHICORY ARATIOHUT
- original name of a band usually known by just the second word
- link to previous scrambles: almost all of their albums are numbered, the first one being one of two exceptions I know
- one of their biggest hits is a song with three numbers in the title

CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY ....usually known by the FIRST word : )

The real Chicago Transit Authority of transportation threatened legal action because of the name.... so the band shortened it to Chicago.

Does anyone really know what time it is?

YOPIT YUNW IS EAFTE RALL YEARS/ FOUL MOOVV


*song/ writer-singer
*another number though it could have been more

*bonus clue* if you have a tendency to hear or read words that bring a song to mind, then another of the singer's songs is paraphrased in the scramble

5. Band has been described as rock infused with elements of "garage, disco, punk, new wave, and metal."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Six#cite_note-amg_overview-06. The band ain't Motown, but it's from the same city.
