Musical monday #115

Musical Monday is a feature that alternates between Elie and me. Elie hasn't yet posted the answers for Musical Monday 114, so you can still check it out.

I hope to add more tonight tomorrow. I don't know if the theme will emerge quickly or not. It was hard choosing songs because in some cases the same song would have made sense as more than one entry. And just to be different: One song appears in this list twice.

One other thing. I used Wikipedia as my source. I think the Wikipedia list looked plausible. If there's another source that contradicts Wikipedia, my apologies.

Anyway you know the drill identify the lyrics and figure out the theme. No Googling! Have fun.
