Theme 366 - Sources of light (e.g. the sun, stars, torch, lamp, etc but must be a noun) in either the title or artist - Val - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday February 5th

[Val]

Back to our usual format of themes that have been put forward by posters. This time it's me and I'm looking for any source of light. Let's hope Brass, Collette and Jemma are still close by and have some titles to add. All nominations in by midnight Wednesday (your time) please.

The next five themes are:

Theme 367 - Little Miss - song titles containing one of the Little Miss eg. The word(s) Naughty, Magic, Late, Lucky, Star, Quick, Fun etc. Doesn't need to contain the word Little or Miss - Helen
Theme 368 - They call me MISTER ....... - song titles containing one of the standard forms of formal address for ordinary folk; Mister/Mr, Master, Miss, Mrs, Ms - Brass Neck
Theme 369 - Songs featuring Orchestras - Jemma
Theme 370 - Hello, Goodbye - song titles containing the words "hello" or "goodbye". - KJS
Theme 371 - Rabbit, rabbit... Ooops! - Tracks which have band chatter before or after the song, or have false starts - FishyJim

New themes can be added at:

Oh please please Val, can you allow my second nom, please please? I'm thinking fluorescent strip lights. And I can only think of lots of songs with the word "sun" in them that we've all heard a million times before, unless you want me to put my serious thinking cap on?
