In other news, I'm amused by the similarity between 33 & 34.
I'll come back later when/if I'm more awake...

3. Taxi -- Harry Chapin
4. Bring Him Home -- Les Miserbles
7. Midnight Blue -- Melissa Manchester?
12 Wild Fire -- Michael something
19 Dancing Queen -- Abba
24 Let Him In -- Wings (or someone's knocking at the door, I can never remember the title)
33. The Best of Times - Styxx
I didn't even know I had the Melissa Manchester song on the thing until it plyed.
23. "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure
25. "Wishing, Hoping" by Dusty Springfield ♥
26. "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles
28. Meme twins! "A Little Respect".
38. "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads
40. "Age of Aquarius" from...Hair? I am bad at musicals.
I love Dusty Springfield, too.
The only other one I know is # 20 is "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" from Evita.
musicals ftw
16. "Here's to You Mrs. Robinson"/Simon and Garfunkle
20. "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina"/Evita. And all I got is Madonna.
25. I know this song! I just can never remember the actual title and I have no idea who sings it. So I'm going to guess "All I Gotta Do"/Some Gal and the So-and-Sos.
Re: musicals ftw
I have at least four versions of that song on my ipod, Scary.
11. You Might Think - The Cars
15. Light My Candle - RENT (<3)

40. Aquarius - Hair
34. Push by Matchbox 20
I'm kind of surprised that Sail Away took so long to identify.
At least it wasn't Adiemus, or I'd have put something like "Words in Latin? Hawaiian? What languages are they?"
17. Only want to be with you, Hootie
21. U2, but I'm blanking on the title (I'm running it through my head now)
25. Wishing and Hoping. I have no idea who sings this, but it makes me think of the opening to My Best Friend's Wedding
