    I'll start...

    Woodstock, by Joni Mitchell, feel free to sing along!

    I came upon a child of god
    He was walking along the road
    And I asked him, where are you going
    And this he told me
    Im going on down to yasgurs farm
    Im going to join in a rock n roll band
    Im going to camp out on the land
    Im going to try an get my soul free
    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And weve got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    Then can I walk beside you
    I have come here to lose the smog
    And I feel to be a cog in something turning
    Well maybe it is just the time of year
    Or maybe its the time of man
    I dont know who l am
    But you know life is for learning
    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And weve got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    By the time we got to woodstock
    We were half a million strong
    And everywhere there was song and celebration
    And I dreamed I saw the bombers
    Riding shotgun in the sky
    And they were turning into butterflies
    Above our nation
    We are stardust
    Billion year old carbon
    We are golden
    Caught in the devils bargain
    And weve got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    Celluloid Heroes
    by The Kinks

    Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star,
    And everybodys in movies, it doesnt matter who you are.
    There are stars in every city,
    In every house and on every street,
    And if you walk down hollywood boulevard
    Their names are written in concrete!

    Dont step on greta garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
    She looks so weak and fragile thats why she tried to be so hard
    But they turned her into a princess
    And they sat her on a throne,
    But she turned her back on stardom,
    Because she wanted to be alone.

    You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard,
    Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of,
    People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
    Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
    Rudolph valentino, looks very much alive,
    And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by.
    Avoid stepping on bela lugosi
    cos hes liable to turn and bite,
    But stand close by bette davis
    Because hers was such a lonely life.
    If you covered him with garbage,
    George sanders would still have style,
    And if you stamped on mickey rooney
    He would still turn round and smile,
    But please dont tread on dearest marilyn
    cos shes not very tough,
    She should have been made of iron or steel,
    But she was only made of flesh and blood.

    You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard,
    Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of.
    People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
    Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

    Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star
    And everybodys in show biz, it doesnt matter who you are.

    And those who are successful,
    Be always on your guard,
    Success walks hand in hand with failure
    Along hollywood boulevard.

    I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show,
    A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
    Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    And celluloid heroes never really die.

    You can see all the stars as you walk along hollywood boulevard,
    Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of,
    People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
    Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

    Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    Oh celluloid heroes never really die.

    I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show,
    A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
    Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    And celluloid heroes never really die.

    But you see I don't care how cold you are
    I'm coming home soon

    From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When...pon_a_Star

    "When You Wish upon a Star" is a popular song written by Ned Washington and Leigh Harline and introduced in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio, where it is sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket, over the opening credits and again in the final scene of the film.

    The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year, and became a theme song for the Disney company, used in the opening sequences of Disney anthology television series and in Walt Disney Pictures' opening logos. The ships of the Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Wonder and the Disney Magic, use the iconic first seven notes of this melody as their horn signals.

    The American Film Institute ranked it seventh in their 100 Greatest Songs in Film History, the highest ranked Disney song.

    Not sure who originally wrote this song...but here's Sly Stone's version:

    Everybody is a star
    Who can rain, chase the dust away
    Everybody wants to shine
    Ooh, come out on a cloudy day
    'Til the sun that loves you proud
    When the system tries to bring you down
    Every hand to shine tonight
    You don't need darkness to do what you think is right

    Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
    ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Everybody is a star
    I can feel it when you shine on me
    I love you for who you are
    Not the one you feel you need to be
    Ever catch a falling star
    Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
    Everybody is a star
    One big circle going round and round

    Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
    ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
    ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
    ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, shine, shine, shine, shine

    (repeat and fade)
