A belated happy birthday, by the way. :)

1: HMS Bellerophon
2: The Irish Rover
5: HMS Victory
6: The Good Ship Lollipop (that's a bit embarrassing)

So I'm guessing that they're all ships...

Which makes me think that 4 might be Das Boot.

6. Shirley Temple singing "On The Good Ship Lollipop."
7. The Doors "The Crystal Ship"

So I'm guessing the theme is ships and boats.

Yep to both :)

Didn't remember the song title, but I looked it up. I won't post it tho - looking it up is cheating.
