Musical monday #63

Check out the answers to Musical Monday 62. Sorry, I'm not as ambitious or clever as Elie.

However this time I tried to maintain some semblance of order. #1, is the theme. The rest follow the theme, though 30 is kind of odd, and 31 and 32 don't really fit.

But you know the drill, guess the lyrics, solve the theme and no Googling or other search engining. Because of the Jewish Holidays, the next scheduled Musical Monday is at Elie's in two weeks.

1) I got pictures, got candy
2) I can lock all my doors
3) Wheels take the brunt. Pinion and a rack
4) I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
5) You told me we live in the shadows
6) There's a wild man, wizard,
7) With a pink hotel, a boutique
8) And I don't like Star Wars
9) We'll get matching jackets and helmets too.
10) That ain't my shadow on the wall
11) Arrows of neon and flashing marquees

13) the major was a lady suffragette
14) I might get rich you know I might get busted
15) You're gonna hear electric music
16) I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
17) Zero hour nine a.m.
18) there's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me
19) And the gold and the cotton and pearls
20) Smog will get you pretty soon.
21) I won't slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels,
22) Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!
23) Thinking of a sweet romance, beginning in a queue
24) Every day I get in the queue
25) Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
26) I put her out in a town that was so small
27) So he pawned all his hopes and he even sold his old car
28) Then you left me, said you felt trapped
29) goodbye pretty mama, get yourself a money man
30) On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
31) Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of june
32) Who's gonna plug their ears when you scream

Thanks to all for guessing at Musical Monday #61, and Elie guessed correctly first, that I was featuring artists who had died. (Except in #30, it was all as solo artists. 30, only one of the Righteous Brothers has passed away, but the song was Rock n' Roll Heaven.) My brother and Clayton questioned whether "Dream a little dream of me" was credited to the Mamas and Papas or to Mama Cass. I thought the latter, but might have been wrong.

Somehow I forgot Harry Chapin and the duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, so I added them in an update.
