While you're all still mulling over Kirst's question (which has me stumped, I'll admit), here's another linky one to keep you going...

"Well she tossed all night like a raging sea, woke up and climbed from the suicide machine"
"His wicked sense of humour suggests exciting sex"
"Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain"
"It's a godawful small affair"
...
"Lady, take a ride on a Zeke 64"
...
"When the last course has been consumed, they withdraw to the drawing room"

Bonus points if you can complete the set.

Is it Sex and the City? ( I know three of them were in the 3 films - and I assume the other had a brief appearance in Friends)
Kim Cattrall was in Mannequin, Sarah Jessica Parker was in Footloose, Cynthia Nixon was in Amadeus and Kristin Davies appeared in Friends - and Groove Armada did the SATC theme.

See, you're not the only ones who can do ridiculously obscure questions.  :D

Yes but us boys do anorakky obscure questions. Yours, on the other hand, was clever, in the Brain of Britain sense  ;)
Why should anybody steal a watch when they can steal a bicycle?

Wild punt #1:

Steeleye Span did some songs as the St Eeleye Choir, in fake childrens' voices.  Perhaps 'hark' is one.
Lazy Sunday is sung in an absurdly exaggerated cockney style.

So perhaps all these songs have some kind of unusual vocal style affected?

I have never knowingly heard anything by Yo La Tengo.

No guesses? I'm jumping on a flight later and may be out of touch for a few days. Here's a clue:

Think Vivaldi.

We can either close this and give it to Clarion as he guessed first or I can PM someone the answer?

It's seasons.

Happiness is Easy was on the album The Colour of Spring.
Season of the Shark has season in the title.

This is, of course, a guess as I don't know the others :-\
