I'm not the only one who asks people to provide songs to fit a certain prompt. It's a popular game in the blogosphere as well. This game was inspired by a somewhat specific theme I saw about a month ago that one blogger complained had hardly any songs which fit it at all. I challenged myself, using both titles and artists, to come up with 12 songs that each contained a unique element of the theme. A few of these may be stretches for obvious reasons, and for one song you'll need a certain artist to know how it fits (though I'd never count it against you if you chose a non-fitting one). But, mission accomplished! And remember, unlike yesterday's simple game, this theme is more specific, and is one I guarantee you neither I, nor any other LS-Meister has ever used.

And before I forget...... GET THOSE FRIDAY REQUESTS IN TODAY! I still only have 8 submissions!

That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me

Disabused. I should write a song with that title. Maybe I could get that one.

Theme?

This can't just be reptiles, since dragons and Godzilla don't even exist. And that also shoots down any kingdom, taxonomy kind of stuff. It also rules out any sort of ordering, like oldest, biggest, etc.
So, even I can't overthink this one, even though you stated specificity.

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

Rattlesnake Shake - Aerosmith

You had at least one snake, more if my FECB guess is right, so I think I'm safe with this one.

FFF: This is from the Killer tour. Killer is the ONE album my aunt wouldn't let me cousin have because it had a song called Dead Babies. Goat's Head Soup? Sure. Two Virgins? Why not? But somehow this is where she drew the line. So what did my cousin do? Like all of us grandkids, she did an end around and asked my grandma for it for Christmas....ha!

The genuine article...

1.) Crocodile Rock - Elton John, 2.) Happy Together - The Turtles, 7.) Karma Chameleon - Boy George, 10.) Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult, 12.) Money - The Beatles.
