Got To Believe In Magic - David Pomeranz
Covered just 5 posts up 🙂
For the Punk Rock magic fans (it took awhile to find).
Automatic - Beatsteaks
I was never into the Punk Rock music scene. There was a concert video up of this song, but the lead singer Wendy O. Williams ended up topless in it except for pasties (not kid site appropriate). Her Wikipedia entry, "She was noted for her on stage theatrics, which included partial nudity, exploding equipment, firing a shotgun, and chainsawing guitars." Unfortunately she took her own life in 1998.
Dream Lover - Plasmatics
Did Punk Rock break Magic? Four days no posts...give me a bump please, or don't...(I've got more Punk Rock Magic). 
Flipper Twist - Flipper
That's all the Punk Rock Magic I found...that's kid site appropriate.
