Just a theme today, no matching them up (yay, because scoring those are a beyotch!) so, for an extra five points for those who faithfully read the opening to this far, there's a theme within a theme here concerning 4, 5 and 9. And if you don't know one of those songs, knowing the extra theme will help you get it.
1. To tease ‘em and thrill ‘em
To torture and kill ‘em
Is her delight they say
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was *** pouring water on a drowning man
2. And she sits very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get right
And if they don't then nobody else will
But she used to have a carefree mind of her own
With a devilish look in her eye
3. I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
I looked at her and she at me
4. Making love in the afternoon with ***
Up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place
5. Then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost
So gol-durned lost
Not even God can find me
6. Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you, (** ), really
7. Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times
Oh, all the poets, they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
8. When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen six
They said that old mother nature
Was up to her old tricks.
That's the story that went around
But here's the real lowdown
9. First I rise then I fall
Seems like you don't want the love
Of this man at all
And it's sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you
oh if you take a love like mine
10. There's no time to lose I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind
Theme: This shouldn’t be too difficult today
Bonus Bonus: Which line in #3 had to be changed to avoid a trademark challenge by what major corporation?
Super Bonus: In which 1946 movie (which also fits today’s theme) was song #8 featured?

Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel (This may have been solo Simon, but if so I'll take partial credit because I had a hell of a time pulling this one....)
5. Then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost
So gol-durned lost
Not even God can find me
6. Your looks intoxicate me

Theme: This shouldn’t be too difficult today - Girls names, another theme I used in the past (albeit, after this was first-run)....
Bonus Bonus: Which line in #3 had to be changed to avoid a trademark challenge by what major corporation? - The champagne was not allowed to taste like Coca Cola. It was changed to cherry cola, which is the version I always heard back in the 90's when I first started listening to a 70's station. That same station today now plays the Coca Cola version....
Super Bonus: In which 1946 movie (which also fits today’s theme) was song #8 featured?

2. Elvis Costello - Veronica
3. The Kinks - Lola
4. Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia
10 . The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday
Theme - A woman's name in the song title.
Bonus Bonus - I'm guessing that the line "cherry cola (C-O-L-A cola)" originally said "Coca-Cola". That was an odd line at the time because Coke and Pepsi really didn't make cherry cola popular until the late 1980s.

I'm not great with themes, and having a "theme within a theme" doesn't exactly give me confidence. Nonetheless, we soldier on.

Well, perhaps it wasn't so bad after all. The theme is "songs with women's names in the title".

Hard Heart Hannah - Ella Fitzgerald. There's a (Disney, I assume) song called "Whale of a Tale" that we sang in 6th grade chorus with a verse about Harpoon Hannah, and somehow I got them confused.
2. And she sits very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get right
And if they don't then nobody else will
But she used to have a carefree mind of her own
With a devilish look in her eye

Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkel
5. Then one day I left my gal

And now I'm lost
So gol-durned lost
Not even God can find me
They Call the Wind Maria - I don't know if I've ever heard a version of this on the radio or on a record or anything, so I'm at a loss to who recorded it. I'll guess Frank Sinatra.
6. Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you, (** ), really
Eleanor - The Turtles
7. Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times

Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground

Um...."Auntie Mame"? No, that was in the 70s. And I don't think Roz Russell sang it, but even if she did, "Mame" was the late 50s. I got nuthin'.

1. Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah)/a standard; I bet Frank Sinatra recorded it at some point
3. Lola/The Kinks
4. Cecelia/Simon & Garfunkel
5. They Call The Wind Mariah/Johnny Mathis
8. Sweet Georgia Brown? WAG/Its a standard; throw in Sinatra again

Bonus Bonus: "We drank champagne & it tastes just like Coca Cola" was changed in the US to "We drink champagne & it tastes just like cherry cola"
Super Bonus: OK, want a movie with a woman's name; think Hard Hearted Hannah comes from "Gilda", so even though that's not song #8, gonna guess it

1. To tease ‘em and thrill ‘em
To torture and kill ‘em
Is her delight they say
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was *** pouring water on a drowning man
HARD HEARTED HANNAH - ELLA FITZGERALD
Also would have taken Ray Charles but, surprisingly, not Frank Sinatra!
2. And she sits very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get right
And if they don't then nobody else will
But she used to have a carefree mind of her own
With a devilish look in her eye
VERONICA - ELVIS COSTELLO
3. I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
I looked at her and she at me
LOLA - THE KINKS
4. Making love in the afternoon with ***
Up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place
CECILIA - SIMON & GARFUNKEL
5. Then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost
So gol-durned lost
Not even God can find me
THEY CALL THE WIND MARIA - HARVE PRESNELL
Also Ed Ames and The Kingston Trio, who knew? Half credit for those who CYA'ed with 'cast of Paint Your Wagon'.
6. Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you, (** ), really
ELENORE - THE TURTLES
Yay for mrkelley to be the only one to get the correct spelling!
7. Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times
Oh, all the poets, they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
SWEET JANE - LOU REED or VELVET UNDERGROUND
I don't know why I didn't use I Love You, Suzanne, since that's my fave Lou Reed Song
8. When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen six
They said that old mother nature
Was up to her old tricks.
That's the story that went around
But here's the real lowdown
PUT THE BLAME ON MAME - RITA HAYWORTH
Rita actually did have a voice and had a few albums where she sang this, but Anita Ellis is also accepted under the Marnie Nixon rule. Caro is thinking of the wrong Mame.
9. First I rise then I fall
Seems like you don't want the love
Of this man at all
And it's sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you
oh if you take a love like mine
FANNY (BE TENDER WITH MY LOVE) - BEE GEES
10. There's no time to lose I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind
RUBY TUESDAY - ROLLING STONES
Theme: This shouldn’t be too difficult today
LADIES' NAMES
The extra theme, which I didn't expect anybody to get, is that my cats' names are in here: Lola (although she was named for Gwen Verdon), Maria(h) (she was named for this song before anybody knew who Mariah Carey was), Cecilia and Fanny. Poor Chloe was left out because she was named after the Gus Kahn song and that would have been somewhat dirty pool. I think at least one person got this the first time, but I think that fact was more well known at the time.
Bonus Bonus: Which line in #3 had to be changed to avoid a trademark challenge by what major corporation?
The Coca-Cola/Cherry Cola deal. In response to somebody's thought, although commercial cherry cola wasn't as readily available back then, cherry coke was quite popular in restaurants, bars, bowling alleys, etc. The real kind were you put a shot of cherry syrup in there and topped it off with some maraschinos. Yes, I used to be a soda jerk, BITD.
Super Bonus: In which 1946 movie (which also fits today’s theme) was song #8 featured?
GILDA
You know, the one where she did that shit with her hair.

Looks like tbone and ghost are the only repeaters, and they both picked up quite a few points from last time.
