Musical Monday #132

Welcome to the 132nd 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 below, as well as the common theme of the entire set of songs.

Today's edition has four song groups separated by spaces: 1-8, 9-21, 22-26, and 27-36. These represent four entirely distinct sub-themes, which when combined form the overall theme.

Recall that in past years, the MM's that fell around Purim were special in some way. But Purim is over, isn't it? :-)
