Musical Monday #62

Welcome to the 62nd edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. As always, the challenge is to identify the title and artist of each song quote, as well as the common theme of the set of songs. But before I get to the quotes themselves, a couple of notes relating to this and upcoming MMs:

First, you'll note that this MM is extra-long, containing a full 62 songs to match the edition number. This number has no additional significance in relation to the theme, and despite the number of entries, there is a single uniform theme this week. But I'd also like to say that this edition of MM involved the most effort/research of any I've put together to date, and not only because of its length. Hopefully all the songs should be relatively guessable, though you might find the last half dozen or so a bit harder than the rest. Hope my extra work pays off in terms of both your enjoyment and success rate!

Secondly, though a number of the songs below have been recorded by more than one artist, I will confirm that in all cases I am looking for one particular version of the song. It will generally be either the original and/or the most well-known version, but I don't guarantee this and, unfortunately, can't (won't!) say any more on an individual song basis.

Finally, my MM partner Soccer Dad and I note that due to the upcoming Jewish holidays, MM will be published on a bi-weekly basis for the next couple of editions. This, #63 should appear at Soccer Dad on Monday 10/6, and #64 back here on Monday 10/20, after which the regular weekly schedule should resume.
