Probably the last installment of 2023 (thank God you say) and something to distract you from worrying about what's going to happen between 3pm and 5pm on Saturday.
There is a theme so your answer will be expected to fit the theme once you work it out. All well known songs (not necessarily chart hits) from almost a century of music, and yes I have ventured into the 21st century for some of them to please our under 50 members.
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). 2nd dibs allowed after 6pm Thursday. NO GOOGLING PLEASE. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain.
