Musical Monday #82
Well first off. Sorry for the change in schedule, but I plan to be away next week, so Elie let me go today. Also, since I usually give two weeks, I won't post the answers to #81 yet.
Musical Monday #70 got me thinking about this and I found what I was looking for. Since sequence was important and I couldn't find the lyrics for some of the songs, I'm leaving those numbers out. It's not a mistake. This probably would have been more appropriate for #81. I also expect that once someone figure out a specific song, the theme will be obvious. And for the remakes, once you know the theme, you'll figure out the artist.
So you know the drill. No googling (even though I couldn't have put this together without searching.)
Finally, I didn't give the correct location for the answers to Musical Monday #80. Elie turned it into a separate post, Home Again. Enjoy!

Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at February 23, 2009 2:24 PMGiven that the first song is "Video Killed The Radio Star", I'm pretty sure the theme is the first videos played on MTV.
