Musical Monday #126

Welcome to the 126th 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.

There's a single theme this week, though the last couple of songs relate to it somewhat differently than the rest.

1) "The whole world looks upon the sight"
2) "I am tired of this devil"
3) "What we need to survive, together alive"
4) "Don't forget what your good book said"
5) "I go to the movie, and I go downtown"
6) "Won't you please excuse my frankness"
7) "A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then"
8) "Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss"
9) "I have wants and desires just like you"
10) "I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown"
11) "I've worked on jobs with my feet and my hands"
12) "Momma she worked so hard to earn every penny"
13) "The man in the silk suit hurries by"
14) "The light bulb's gettin' dim, there's meltdown in the sky"
15) "Walk me down to school, baby, everybody's acting deaf and blind"
16) "His patience's long, but soon he won't have any"
17) "But he never did like to talk about it all that much"
18) "I can't pay no doctor bill"
19) "He don’t like dreads, he thinks we’re all crooks"
20) "Well you know your cat has nine lives babe"
21) "Is finally, and permanently, discredited, and abandoned"
22) "Like a starry summer night, or a snow covered winter's day"
23) "Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!"
24) "One man betrayed with a kiss"
25) "Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?"

Good luck and enjoy!

Musical Monday #124

Welcome to the 124th, special Night Edition (nice way to say I ran real late today!) 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.

There's a single set of songs this week, representing a single theme. I fancy that several of the songs will be relatively easy to find, but the overall theme may be a bit trickier than usual. Or maybe not, with such savvy players! Let's see:

1) "See you later; can I have them please?"
2) "Send me down a love to share"
3) "Cause you make the darkness seem so far"
4) "Wonders how you manage to feed the rest"
5) "We want to multiply; are you gonna do it?"
6) "There was three young ladies in the school gym locker"
7) "Dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel"
8) "Slander my name all over the place"
9) "And if that piece of mind won't stay"
10) "Always away from home, never bothering to phone"
11) "The autumn winds blow chilly and cold"
12) "Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight"
13) "The Duchess of Kircaldy always smiling"
14) "And we sang dirges in the dark"
15) "Take a ride on a West Coast kick"
16) "Perhaps I'll come to a great success"
17) "Tell me if she laughs or cries"
18) "And they follow the races and pay out the gains"
19) "Advice is cheap, you can take it from me"
20) "Blue eyes cry; two hearts say goodbye"
21) "Asked the fellow for fifteen cents"
22) "Baby sneezes, Mommy pleases, Daddy breezes in"
23) "Why do we give up our hearts to the past?"
24) "We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire"
25) "You're old enough some people say, to read the signs and walk away"
26) "Well all we need is a simple song, for people that wanna' dance"

Good luck and enjoy!
