e. perhaps,perhaps, perhaps I have it from the strictly ballroom soundtrack, which is Doris Day, but I don't know if that is the version you are working with...

is the theme songs with the same word three times in the title

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

I have that version and the Cake version, so I would accept either.

Correct on the theme!

Number 7 is 'Ignoreland' by REM

Indeed it is, but unfortunately peachespig beat you to it (sorry for the slow updating, got caught up in Textbook!Drama!).

The Blondie is right though!

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'll take what I can get! I just happened to be home when I saw this, and seeing that I'm usually soooo late when you post them due to the time difference, I was just so excited that there were hardly any answers I didn't even check the answers like I ususally do.

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

Is 2 'One way or another' by Blondie?

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

I think 10 is Paul Simon, but I can't remember the song title
