I sense a theme here

Hmm. I am trying AOL Radio's 60s channel, and the song Green, Green Grass of Home by Tom Jones came on. It's a song about a man on death row, in his final hours prior to execution. Minutes later, we heard Gotta Get a Message to You, by the Bee Gees. It's about, you guessed it, a man whose execution will take place in an hour.

Hmm. I sense a theme here.
