Okay, since I apparently produced a lot of deer-in-headlights looks yesterday, today's theme will be a lot simpler. You'll probably be able to figure it out if you only get one song.

1. Listen! Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up

2. Watch the jingle jangle start to chime
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing

3. Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

4. Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through

5. Times have changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

6. Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

7. A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight

8. Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't 'cause
They're too busy bitchin'

9. Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

10. Before her love
I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place
Where my heart should have been

Bonus: Identify today's theme.

Double Bonus: What famous singer did a cover version of song #2 in a children's animated movie, and what was the movie?

Final Bonus: Which financial genius does the singer of song #5 call his uncle?

Well, I'd have never gotten the Harry Potter reference anyway since I'm about the only person on earth who hasn't read any of that crap, but at least you discovered that there isn't much of a convergence between the crowd who plays LS and the crowd who plays Tangredi's puzzlers....

1. Listen! Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard (Summer of '88, baby!)

2. Watch the jingle jangle start to chime
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing
Green Tamborine - The Lemon Pipers? (Something like that....)

3. Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

4. Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong

5. Times have changed for sailors these days

Cheeseburger in Paradise - Jimmy Buffett (Dedicated to Beebs' pooch...)

A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
Incense & Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock

7. A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight

8. Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't 'cause
They're too busy bitchin'
Given the theme and the swinging references, I'll say Cherry Pie - Warrant

9. Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

10. Before her love
I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place
Where my heart should have been

Bonus: Identify today's theme. - Food, glorious food

Yay for simpler! I'm at least getting the half I need on most of these...

1. Listen! Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up

Pour Some Sugar on Me, Def Leppard (And the Shook-up Ramen works, too!)

2. Watch the jingle jangle start to chime
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing

Familiar

3. Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Nope

4. Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through

I hear Bread, but I don't think it's Baby, I'm-a Want You

5. Times have changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in Paradise, Jimmy Buffett

6. Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

Incense and Peppermint? Don't know by whom.

7. A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight

Cinnamon Girl, Neil Young

8. Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't 'cause
They're too busy bitchin'

Nope

9. Can't wait for tomorrow

Familiar

10. Before her love
I was cruel and mean

This is like the ultimate pop song. I love it! Go All the Way, I thought it was Eric Carmen, so it must be the Raspberries.

Bonus: Identify today's theme.

You're making me hungry! Food. Now I need breakfast.

Double Bonus: What famous singer did a cover version of song #2 in a children's animated movie, and what was the movie?

Oh, great. I would totally get this if I knew the song. ACK!

Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock. One day in the frat house in the fall of '87, WNEW-FM had the guy behind Strawberry Alarm Clock on the radio apologizing for what even he admitted was an atrocity.

7. A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together

Embarrassingly, I spent a long time wracking my brain to why Rock You Like a Hurricane had anything to do with food.

Robert Goulet, "Disney's Recess: School's Out". Goulet always provided the singing voice for Mikey, and the "School's Out" movie was full of 60s songs. There were a lot of references that I got that the kids didn't. An animated video of Goulet's version of "Green Tambourine" can be found here:
