Will write for songs!

I am trying to make a mix for my grandpa's 80th birthday of songs from the year he was born, 1927. Normally I would try to get these off of LimeWire or Acquisition, but because of something to do with my router, I think, neither of them is working and I am so frustrated right now, my walls are all in danger of having my fist put through them. So instead, I beg: does anyone have any of these songs or are you capable of getting one/some of them for me? (Original versions are preferred, but I'll take ANYthing, really.) If you can help me, I'd be happy to write you a drabble or ficlet based on a prompt of your choice. I just really want to be able to make this mix happen!

Thank you so much! *takes calming breaths and drinks tea*

ETA: Thanks so much to everyone who's provided songs so far! As [livejournal.com profile] _inbetween_ wisely suggested, here's what's left:

*Dew-Dew-Dewey Day
*He Loves and She Loves
*Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella
*Let's Kiss and Make Up
*Lindbergh (Eagle of the U.S.A.)
*My One and Only
*Side by Side
*Soon
*Thinking of You
*Thou Swell

ETA2: Songs on this list work, too! I almost have enough for a full mix! Thanks so much, you guys!

I emailed Old Man River to you, but here's the link just in case.

I don't know if it's from the OBC (probably not) but the guy does have a great voice. I've got "Ain't She Sweet," too, but it's the Beatles version--do you still want it?

Here's that one and "S'Wonderful" as sung by Ella Fitzgerald, since you're panicking.

Thank you so much! Yeah, my e-mail isn't cooperating today either—I didn't get the song or my LJ comment notifications...

But this is all fab. Please feel free to request a ficlet!

Something Teyla-related? Perhaps Teyla/Ronon or Teyla/Rodney?

Oh, cool, Paul Robeson! My dad loves him, and he played a semi-crucial part in a doc he did about Edward Bieberman. (Bieberman was a L.A. painter who did Robeson's portrait, and whose brother was one of the Hollywood Ten—Robeson was also blacklisted.) Perfect!

Glad I could help :) It's not often that people want my weird old music.
