1. He was singing hey diddle diddle

I can't say I'm familiar songs from the musical Cats, but the clue leads me to believe it has to be one of 'em that Paul Jones recorded

Gus : The Theatre Cat , perhaps ?

Mr. Mistoffelees ?

[Dappled]

Hint: This song was recorded before Paul Jones went solo. You might call it self-referral.

[Uncle Joe]

Are we talking paul Jones of Manfred Mann's Doo Wah Diddy?

[Dappled]

Yes, we are. If you google "Manfred Mann" and "Hey diddle" you will get the answeer!

[bazooka]

Google, you say? OK. I can do that.

1. The One In The Middle - Manfred Mann

Do it Again by the Beach Boys?

[Dappled]

The theme seems to be about things that are sharp!

[bazooka]

Not bad, Dappled.

You've nailed the theme before any song is correctly identified.

Number 3 is not the Beach Boys.

Keep the theme in mind. It applies to either song titles or artist names.
