I Was Strolling on the Moon one day - Astronaut Harrison Schmitt

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & the Waves

On the Street Where You Live - Nat King Cole

I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am i
Several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Ev'rywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No ...

Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones

Ella Fitzgerald - Summertime

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry

(What did you feel there?) well, I cried
(But why the tears there?) tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

Itchycoo Park - The Small Faces

A Beautiful Morning - The Rascals

It's a beautiful mornin', ahhh
I think I'll go outside a while
And jus' smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine an' you got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day
Either way
It's a beautiful mornin', ahhh

Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know, you know even then
That somewhere you'll see her again and again

Some Enchanted Evening - South Pacific

Here's Looking At You - Blondie

My initials sprayed across a pavement, cut into your private interview
Talk to me now, step into my room, we'll have a word or two
If I ever had a million dollars, and if I didn't give it all to you
Would you lose interest, show me indifference, foot in another shoe?

Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

To a rock and roll song!"
