    Paul Davis. Do Right.

    Correct.

    Casey Kasem told a story of how Paul Davis flunked his high school vocal class. He was required to sing with others and was probably a better singer than most everyone else and wanted to sing all the parts. So his teacher flunked him. That really stuck in his craw and he was determined to make it as a professional singer.

    Go DV.

    Good guess!

    Ah!
    Baba O'Riley
    https://youtu.be/gY5rztWa1TM

    Funny I'd heard snippets of this song, but never in its entirety before (and never knew either name, till now..

    The "Baba O'Riley" title combines the names of Meher Baba and Terry Riley, two of Townshend's philosophical and musical mentors

    Don't feel like I can rightfully take credit (with so strong a Google+MSuzie Assist) so if anyone has a poser to proffer, bring it on

    Okay...since nobody else is JUMP(jack flash)ING IN....

    3-way Mash-up (see spoiler for definition).

    The would-be song if two or more artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin + Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    1. Men Without Hats - Safety Dance (this just has to be right)
    2. Martha and the Vandellas - Dancing In The Street
    3. U2 - Discothèque / Dancing Barefoot (not confident in this at all, they aren't on my playlist)

    Close, @deckerp..you've two out of three ; Or, if I combine artist and song, 5 out of 6 (right band, wrong song)

    Try again, and remember it's a Mashup, so the answer has to flow (song end to song beginning)


    1. Hombres sans Sombreros +
    2. Mrs. Washington/Kent/Wayne & the girls +

    Oh, OK. That's the normal mashup type thing, but I read the word "theme" and thought maybe they just all had "dance" in them.

    Maybe....
    1. Men Without Hats - Safety Dance (this just has to be right)
    2. Martha and the Vandellas - Dancing In The Street
    3. U2- Where The Streets Have No Name?

    #3 and #4 are correct.
    Clue for #2 - the last word from #2 is part of the first word for #3
