Musical monday #33
Elie's Expositions and I switch off hosting Musical Monday. This week it's my turn. You know the drill. No searching. Figure out the name of the song and the theme. This week's there's a little twist. I'm not looking for more than one version of the songs below. There could be 2 answers for 22 but the others should only have a single version. Once you figure out the theme, you'll know what I mean.
1) He blew up very suddenly I guess his name was probably Bruce
2) Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
3) I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
4) I knew he must a been about seventeen
5) There's no reason why my being shy should keep us apart
6) Now I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day
7) Well there's a brand new place I found-a
8) Cause the dolphins make me cry
9) We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
10) And when the sun comes up, I'll be on top
11) Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried, To fill the emptiness inside
12) We’ve done no wrong with our blinkers on it’s safe and calm if you sing along
13) Here's my story, sad but true
14) We're gonna load it up baby now
15) Instinct is the common lawyer
16) A cool evening dance
17) Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
18) Cocaine Katy
19) ...take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
20) Well they've got a new dance and it goes like this
21) In Houston we just started a new dance
22) Our dreams have magic
23) Freedom came my way one day
24) I'm telling you right away
25) This stone is genuine like love should be
26) She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
27) But now you're sad, your mama's mad
28) There's a thrill upon the hill
29) But is her sweet expression, Worth more than my love and affection ?

3 is a Tom Petty song? "Running down a dream" or something like that?
