Musical monday #127

Every week Elie and I alternate hosting Musical Monday. Sorry I'm a day late (and a dollar short) this week! There are still answers needed for Musical Monday #126. You know the rules. Guess the songs. Figure out the theme. No Googling. Have fun.

Both groups have the same theme but different people involved. Does that help?

1) When the night meets the morning sun?
2) Paint a rainbow all around her
3) I just know when I'm in your embrace, this world is a happy place
4) You gotta swing your hips, now
5) It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay
6) You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
7) You're gonna want me for your girl
8) And all that rat-race noise down in the street
9) So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
10) 'cause yesterday you gave-a me your ring
11) You complain, and criticize, I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
12) He's got a TV in every room
13) when my soul was in the lost and found

14) Standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy
15) Who put the ram
16) And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
17) Who cares what picture you see
18) In the eyes of the world I'm a loser just wastin' my time, I can't make a dime
19) Now there's no welcome look in your eyes
20) Girl, how can I live through this, when you're all I wake up for each day?
21) Watched his hair been turnin' grey
22) Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
23) Nobody can tell ya; there's only one song worth singin'.
24) And she would sing sha na na na na na na na ...
25) You waltz right in the door, just like you've done before
26) I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
27) I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough
28) It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

If you were Jones-ing for the answers to Musical Monday #125, here they are. Congratulations to Yitz for figuring out the theme. I had to use early Rolling Stones and late Who to get the Jones songs in. I also bunched the Who, the Stones and Zeppelin up top in order to suggest a British invasion theme. Of course that would have only worked if those three had been guessed first. I'm also very impressed that Gail remembered the same bit of trivia that I did about David Bowie's real name.

Urgent - Foreigner (Mick Jones)
