Note that there is a full alphabet (in order) in the artist initials, and the corresponding song titles also comprise a full alphabet. This is the "key":

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

RXYUCDNOQLMGKPSWJEBFZATIVH

The "off key" bits need to be viewed in the context of the rest of the piece; that is, the initials in these pairs need to be translated with the key-- the artist initials translate in the artist-to-song direction and the song initials in the song-to-artist direction. The offkey pairs are:

AHGRJCO

BTQPNCE

Translating, we get:

A => R S <= B

H => O W <= T

G => N I <= Q

R => E N <= P

J => L G <= N

C => Y E <= C

O => S R <= E

So we get the answer phrase RON ELY'S SWINGER, and the "swinger" played by Ron Ely is TARZAN.
