Pete is within 8 points of ending it all, but a small winning streak by anyone in the pack behind him could easily make it a battle again.

Today's round is a six-pointer. There will be four artists; each will contribute a component of the theme. The components will be present in two of the components, and you'll need the lyrics for the other two. Actually, in one case where you need the lyrics you'll be able to get the component from more than one song.

And the artists are:

Crosby Stills and Nash (and Young)
The Beach Boys
The Pet Shop Boys
Gene Pitney

Name That Theme!

[Pete70s]

I'm thinking it could have something to do with musicals?

Pet Shop Boys-West End Girls ("West Side Story")
Gene Pitney-Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa ("Oklahoma")
Beach Boys-Heroes & Villains (Common theme in musicals)

Can't think of a CSN tune.... That's all I got for now...

No. Sorry, Pete. Keep on trying though.

North, South, East, & West?

CSN-Southern Cross
Beach Boys-California Girls ("and the northern girls with the way they talk")
Pet Shop Boys-West End Girls
Gene Pitney-(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Vallance
("From out of the East a stranger came". also contains the word "West")

... or you could have used Gene's "Mecca" which also includes both east and west. - West End Girls also includes the word east in the lyrics, but you obviously saw that I had said that two of the clues came from titles, so you couldn't use east for the Pet Shop Boys.

California girls also includes East and South but you needed that one for North.

So -- an excellent job of sleuthing, Pete.

Six big points puts you on the doorstep. One more win for you and that's all she wrote.

Pete is KILLING us! It's very impressive. Personally I thought the musical theme guess was inspired.
I'm totally jealous.
