O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (52)

[CAMiller]

First International break of 2024 so here's a pop quiz to alleviate the boredom.

There is a theme, it won't help you guess the song but if you work it out it might help you confirm if your guess is correct. It's not a specific year, these are from mainly the 60s-80s,

As usual song title and the artists required. Limit 5 entries per poster to start with (if you are going for 5 please try and put them all in one reply). I'll be back to mark the responses around 2pm and 2nd dibs allowed after 3pm Wednesday. NO GOOGLING PLEASE. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain.
