Jemma would like us to come up with songs featuring orchestras. I'm imagining vocals in front of an orchestra but Jemma may accept instrumentals - that's up to her.

The next five themes are:

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
Theme 372 - To Too Two - Song titles containing one (or more) of the homophones to, too, two - Helen
Theme 373 - Ain't no nothin' to it - Song titles with a contradictory double negative eg Ain't No or Ain't Nothing (The words don't have to be next to each other but the effect has to be the opposite; if there Ain't No Sunshine then there must be some sunshine. Dawn Penn's No No No for instance isn't contradictory, just repetition for emphasis) - Brass Neck
Theme 374 - "Apein' About" - Song titles &/or band names featuring either the word Ape, or any of it's Hominoidean species....except Homo Sapiens. - theDukulele

That's it then. All seven nominators have voted and it's the 1960s winning again. In first place, a tie between Tim (The Beatles) and KJS (Barry Ryan), both with 18 votes. Second place goes to Jemma with 12 votes for Ray Charles. Another tie in third position, Jim with Scott Walker and Duke with Metallica, both on 8 votes. A wooden spoon for Jemma and Aerosmith. Well done everyone. Back soon with the next theme.
