Martha’s Mix Tape

Every morning at 7:30 AM, on the local 80s station (I Heart the 80s), Martha Quinn plays a ‘mix tape’ of 3 songs linked by a theme, like 3 songs with the word ‘love’ in the title, or something  similar.  Sometimes she’ll say ahead of time what the theme is, sometimes she’ll give a hint.

She then revealed that it was indeed 3 songs associated with Leonard Nimoy, or Spock.  The songs were:
