I keep getting them one at a time! More comments for the post, so it's all good.

"Come out the house, early in the mornin'", which I suggested as a bonus clue for MM # 71, is a line from Bo Diddley's "Cadillac." (The back up singers keep spelling out "C-A-D-I-L-L-A-C.")

31 - Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd

19.Born to Run-Bruce Springsteen

32 - I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls

Since nobody has said it yet, I will guess that the theme is song titles that reference foot-based methods of transportation. :)

is walk of life in here?

38 - one more set of footsteps - jim croce

12 - It Keeps You Runnin' - The Doobie Brothers

18) "Walk a Thin Line", Fleetwood Mac, the "Obligatory Tusk Song" (tm)

With Soccer Dad's permission, here are a few more for you all (including him!) to guess. If any of these are already here, my apologies!

41) "And I was born with a jealous mind"
42) "I can't stand your alibis, your tellin' lies"
43) "A touch of sable in their eyes"
44) "All I need is a pint a day"
45) "We, the great and small, stand on a star"

Meant to include a hint for #43: It would fit perfectly much higher up on the list.

I knew Walking on Sunshine and Take a Walk on the Wild Side at first glance on Monday, but then I went and looked at the comments instead of working on any more and saw that those two had already been identified and read the identifications of others I might have gotten on my own had I not spoiled it for myself.

I keep thinking of "Skip to My Lou."

The bonus of the pairings within the theme is pretty cool.

44 - Band on the Run - Paul McCartney and Wings

I hope it's OK if I add a couple more as well:

46) "I find myself startin' to doubt you"
47) "But you never listen my advice"

42. "You better run," if I have the title correct, by the Rascals.

While everyone is getting into the act:

48) "I was down in the jungle, pickin' wild beans
When something jumped up that I never before seen"

Maybe Run for Your Life by The Beatles is one of the unidentified songs?

Maybe it is! ;-)

And just for fun, here's a quote from the only song that doubly fits the theme:

" ". (Ref MM #40!)

47 is "Last Time" by the Stones?

Elie: "Walk, Don't Run"? Can't remember the band...one of the surf-rock ones, I'm thinking of The Ventures but I don't think that's right.

Yitzchak: Sorry, try again. :)

Yitzchak: I just looked up "The Last Time". I didn't know it had an identical lyric to the song I have in mind. Nearly anything else from my song would be too much of a giveaway, though, I think... As a hint, the line in my song is from the chorus, not a verse.
