Saturday Snapshots #191

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, they wished they had a quiz that got people going on a Saturday morning like this one.

Or perhaps that's just my dream. I await the day Hollywood comes calling to tell the Saturday Snapshots story. Till then, here are ten artists to identify, each with a song that connects to a specific theme. Guess the theme and get the songs!
