Musical monday 7

I'd like to thank Elie's Expositions for hosting last week's Musical Monday 6. Check back with him next week for Musical Monday 8.

This week's a little different. The theme has to do with something fictional. Using the clues you'll probably guess a theme quickly, but it will be wrong. You'll notice that a few items don't quite fit in. Each lyric or title refers to an event, person or thing in that fictional work. The numbers are important. (I'll admit that that is an example of my best guess, rather than rigorous. Some answers may be somewhat subjective. The theme is hidden somewhere in this post.)

1) She is like a cat in the darkness (1)

2) There's a lot of us been pushed around (1)

3) You're sailing softly through the sun (1)

4) When you hypnotize with your eyes (1)

5) Shes a witch of trouble in electric blue, (1)

6) Sparks fly from her finger tips (1)

7) There's magic in my eyes (2)

7a) If looks could kill, they probably will (2)

8) I got silly and found a frog in the water by a hollow log (2)

9) His hair was perfect (3)

10) I heat up, I can't cool down (4)

11) What ever happened to my Translvania Twist (4)

12) She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door (5)

13) But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine (6)

14) All the vampires walkin through the valley (6)

15) I hope you are quite prepared to die (7)

Thanks again for sharing the contest! Now I get to enjoy both guessing and asking.

And I'm even first for once:

1) Fleetwood Mac, "Rhiannon"

4) America, "It Could Be Magic"

6) Eagles, "Witchy Woman"

9) Warren Zevon, "Werewolves of London"

10) Hall and Oates, "Abracadabra" (or is it Avada Kedavra? :-) )

11) Boris Pickett, "Monster Mash"

13) "Love Potion Number Nine", I forget the band

Several others are familiar but I can't come up with the titles/artists right now.

Very clever!! I'm guessing the theme is Harry Potter, and the numbers represent the Harry Potter book in which the item in question first appears. E.g., witches and magic in the 1st book, werewolves in book 3, etc.

12. Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town - Kenny Rogers

Posted by: Gail at August 13, 2007 03:54 PM

I am wrong on #12 - "She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door."

I looked up the lyrics to Kenny Roger's Ruby, and the line I got it confused with was:

"She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door"

14 is Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. I never noticed any vampires in the Valley.
