Chia, is #6 a trick question or is this something other than "Just One of Those Things" that Frank Sinatra sang?

#7 One for My Baby, And One More For The Road also sung by Frank Sinatra among others.

Chia

Marsgal...Now would I ever use a trick question?...Seriously...#6 is not a trick question and is a lyric from a song I am sure you have heard or sung or even whistled at one time... :) continuing..

MarsGal

#1391
RE: 11, Theme. It almost looks like Frank Sinatra should be the Theme, but he never recorded Skylark.  https://sinatrafamily.com/single-list/  A lot of these songs were in movies, but I don't know about all of them, so it is just a wild guess. Don't think that is right either. GlowWorm wasn't in a movie as far as I know.

Chia

#1392
