Musical monday #95

Hi, welcome back to the latest edition of Musical Monday. Elie and I alternate hosting. Please check here later today for the answers to the Musical Monday #94. For 95, Elie and I collaborated for the first time in a while. It's been fun. When I first suggested the theme, he asked, "Haven't we done this before?" But no we hadn't. Anyway, you know the drill no Googling, guess the song titles and figure out the theme.

1. "Aimed at your average teen"
2. "Playin for a week in Rhode Island"
3. "Making vows that just can't work right"
4. "Despite all the computations"
5. "King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight"
6. "You're lookin' fancy and I like your style"
7. "And let the feeling get down to your soul"
8. "She was just sixteen and all alone"
9. "Don't step on snails, don't climb in trees"
10. "It'll go down in history"
11. "Wont go to hear them play a tango"
12. "Chances are you won't have to go too far"
13. "Would it be enough for your cheating heart?"
14. "An we'll be movin' on and singin' that same old song"
15. "And lose the beauty of the melody"
16. "Truck on out and spread the news"
17. "I bought all the old Chuck Berrys 78s and all"
18. "The trick is to ride and make it to the bell"
19. "A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word"
20. "And electricity's a devil with a twenty amp fuse."
21. "Ba na na na... Hey! Ba na na."
22. "I hate the teachers and the principal"
23. "I'm a little bit Memphis & Nashville"
24. "... Upbeat, Shinding and Ed Sullivan too?"
25. "And she gave Tchaikovsky back"
26. "Heavy decibels are playing on my guitar"
27. "Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods"
28. "Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry"
29. "Like a charging bull, it's a juggernaut"

Here are the answers to Musical Monday #93. Thanks to everyone for playing. Clayton guessed the theme I was looking for (and added a couple of his own) that was unrequited love. Up top are a couple of sources that I used.
