The theme would have to be place names, not specifically countries or lands, as some are cities...
Place names on this planet? ???

Come on guys, only 1/2 left and we're done. I'm offering an extra point to whoever can say who else recorded "Jamaica Farewell". Pay attention to the clue, it should make it easy! FD didn't even know a single tune, but for filing in the whole mystery title he's in the lead. Can anyone at least tie him. Let's see!
Your Pal,
Doc
