Now I’ve posted two that are driving people nuts. I’ll put up the answers and try again.
“Purchase goose feathers after sunset” is “Get Down Tonight” by KC and the Sunshine Band.
“I Am The One To Be Reanimated” could be the Arch Enemy song, although I was looking for “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence.
New one:
A road’s top-billed actor.
