#119a is Rio by Duran Duran.
(I am) travelling aimlessly along city streets, partaking in cannabis sativa and taking very small, incremental drinks of a cocktail of a liquor made from distilled juniper berries and a liquid squeezed from an unidentified fruit; while my thoughts turn to my net worth, and my net worth occupies my thoughts.
#118 New York New York by Frank Sinatra
Is 119a “Rio” by Duran Duran
StusBlues: Correct, and nicely done!
Ximenean: Also correct!

And I’m guessing 119a is…no, I won’t say it. 
You must be cognizant of when to maintain your hand, understand when to discard it, be cognizant of when to leave slowly and when to make a more expeditious departure.
Do not enumerate your circulating medium while seated near the piece of furniture objects are resting on. There will be ample opportunity for said enumeration when your business is concluded.
Good one.
I think all of mine have been answered, so it’s time for some new ones:
(a) Greetings and salutations to the majestic figment of your imagination; pass the threshold and with your ocular organs, observe that which is occurring; tender the requested monetary sum; and obtain your receipt which will allow you entry to the spectacle on display inside.
(b) In the beginning, I was fearful, I was like a certain plant material that had been fossilized; I continued to formulate thoughts that I could not continue to exist in the absence of your presence to my right or left. However, I have spent a large number of hours of darkness considering the manner in which you violated my person, and I cultivated muscle; and I became educated in the manner in which I was able to manage.
© I have tendered monies owing for belonging repeatedly; I have paid my debt to society in spite of the fact that I have done nothing against any statutory law or regulation. And inappropriate faux pas, I have committed more than one of them; I have endured the amount of silicate particles that have been thrust towards my visage by a lower body appendage; however, I have survived.
(d) Her keratinous growth is the same color as that of a 1930s motion picture player; the labia on her visage are akin to an unexpected confection; there is always thermal energy in the appendages of her forelimbs; she is blessed with photoreceptors similar to those of a cinema player who appeared in such films as Now Voyager and Dark Victory.
Johnny Q, yours two posts up is “The Gambler,” by Kenny Rogers.

129B: I Will Survive
129C: We Are the Champions
mmm
1 - The two of us are entangled in a contraption from which we cannot escape, I do not have the ability to ambulate away, the reason is that I am far too enamored of the person to whom I am speaking, infant.
2 - When the sun is in the sky the two of us would emit an electrolytic solution from our pores away upon the paved motorcar pathways of a fugitive United States night-time hallucination, when the moon is out the two of us would be carried along upon a vehicle from beginning to end of large luxurious quarters in the ultimate of self-harm devices.
mmm
You have achieved the highest possible rank of anyone in your immediate surroundings, no person or object will cause you to be diminished.
There existed a gentleman employed in an agrarian profession who possessed a canine who shared a moniker with a popular parlor game.
Our collective group has won the highest possible achievement, amigos, we shall continue our battle to its completion.
All correct:
(a) Greetings and salutations to the majestic figment of your imagination; pass the threshold and with your ocular organs, observe that which is occurring; tender the requested monetary sum; and obtain your receipt which will allow you entry to the spectacle on display inside.
Welcome to the grand illusion, come on in and see what’s happening, pay the price, get your ticket for the show. (Styx)
(b) In the beginning, I was fearful, I was like a certain plant material that had been fossilized; I continued to formulate thoughts that I could not continue to exist in the absence of your presence to my right or left. However, I have spent a large number of hours of darkness considering the manner in which you violated my person, and I cultivated muscle; and I became educated in the manner in which I was able to manage.
First I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking how I couldn’t live without you by my side. But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong, I grew strong, and I learned how to get along. (Gloria Gaynor)
(c) I have tendered monies owing for belonging repeatedly; I have paid my debt to society in spite of the fact that I have done nothing against any statutory law or regulation. And inappropriate faux pas, I have committed more than one of them; I have endured the amount of silicate particles that have been thrust towards my visage by a lower body appendage; however, I have survived.
I’ve paid my dues, time after time; I’ve done my sentence but committed no crime; and bad mistakes, I’ve made a few; I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I’ve come through. (Queen)
Well done!
129(d): Betty Davis Eyes
Bingo was his Name-O.
Some good work! Let’s put a country twist on some–these are country songs and artists:
(a) The diminutive of Charles has a timepiece of atomic number 79. It does not resemble a great deal, after 10950 or so days of operating a large motor vehicle to and from various places along the inter-city highway.
(b) My male friend informed me that he was in the early part of his fourth decade, and still had many years ahead of him. And a brief period of time halted me on a ten-cent piece. Most of my subsequent diurnal periods were passed as I observed the radiographs, as we discussed the choices and discussed confectionary horology.
© The study of numbers and necessary operations was not mine to enjoy; likewise, the study of history eluded me. A young lady of a certain name was chosen to present a speech at our convocation. I was the key player on the squad that played the game that was derived from English rugby belonging to our school; she was the cerebral student who wore spectacles trimmed with a keritaneous substance.
(d) I arose in the antemeridian hours of this day and clumsily made my way out of my place of repose. I reviewed a page of my daily printed information source, which would inform me of my astrological sign’s fortunes. I quickly found my future, but my ocular organs nearly leapt out of my cranium when the printed text informed me that the astrological forces would not be kind to me today and that I should return to my place of repose.
Oakminster, your answer to 129(d) is correct!
You are correct, as I said, but I should add the explanation:
(d) Her keratinous growth is the same color as that of a 1930s motion picture player; the labia on her visage are akin to an unexpected confection; there is always thermal energy in the appendages of her forelimbs; she is blessed with photoreceptors similar to those of a cinema player who appeared in such films as Now Voyager and Dark Victory.
*Her hair is Harlow gold; her lips sweet surprise; her hands are never cold; she’s got Bette Davis eyes. * (Kim Carnes)
He had no follicle appendages on the superior crown of his cranium where said follicle appendages habitually germinate.
You shall take the thoroughfare that wends its way through upland regions, while I on the other hand shall take the one whose route is confined to valleys and plains, and I shall arrive in the Caledonian nation prior to you, but nonetheless the person with whom I am bound in bonds of enduring affection and I shall not at any future time be reunited on the pulchritudinous shorelne of the largest body of fresh water in the aforementioned nation.
