Musical monday #107

OK, you know the the drill: Elie and I alternate hosting Musical Monday. Identify the lyrics, figure out the theme. Please check out Musical Monday #106 later today for last week's answers!

There's one theme, but slightly different emphases, I suppose, which accounts for the break after 21.

1) We had it with your discipline
2) There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
3) That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
4) I lost my girl and I lost my fun
5) But where I live the game to play is compromise solution
6) Local cops, cherry tops
7) And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
8) I took some comfort there
9) And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
10) Getting strong now, won't be long now
11) Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
12) Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
13) It's a fact, We got a first rate act
14) ... he wore a diamond
15) Easy money and faithless women
16) Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night
17) Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
18) Well out of south Alabama come a country boy
19) .. treetop lover
20) Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
21) Before I put another notch in my lipstick case

22) Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
23) Virgil caine is the name
24) On the mountain was a treasure
25) Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
26) And my daddy calls me a vet
27) We had no soft soap
28) Silver wings upon their chest
29) It's an enemy to all mankind
30) Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
31) "If you're reading this,then I didn't make it home"
32) And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong,

Thanks for playing Musical Monday 105. In all 26 out of 30 songs - and 3 of the remaining artists - were identified and Yitz identified the theme as songs from double albums.Great work! With the advent of CD's, they're a thing of the past.

The theme for Musical Monday #103 was two hit wonders. Since quite a few of those second hits were quite obscure, it wasn't a great choice of theme. (I chose I will survive because Never can say good bye was a cover version.)
