Musical Monday #142

Welcome to the 142nd edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. This week and next, to mark the third anniversary of Musical Monday, we'll be presenting a special, jointly-developed edition. For today, the challenge is as usual to identify the title and artist of each song quote below, as well as the common theme of the entire set of songs. And while there's a single theme this week, the two groups of songs (1-39 and 40-66) are also distinct from one another in a significant way. Extra credit to the first one who identifies that difference! (And apologies for any that may be incorrectly categorized.)
