I'm confirmed off the couch. This is definitely not in my wheelhouse, but I actually did have the right general idea last night, I just didn't approach it correctly. Looked again this evening and realized I'd missed an important instruction, and once I applied that, one more trip to google and there it was.
I enjoyed the grid too - challenging but gettable. I had one wrong letter - square #39 - where I was guessing at both words. Everything else that I didn't know, I could figure out through the crossings.
And speaking of the grid, my husband is a retired airline pilot and in his last several years of work flew regularly to 1D. Much to my surprise, he never had a passenger getting on the plane stop by the cockpit to ask him that Dionne Warwick lyric. How could anyone resist that?!

Just got around to it. A real Googlefest for me. Submitted a clean answer.
Nice concept. I like it.
edit: OOPs, forgot it was ten-letters. Had those written next to other answer.
Must be right now.

That was a fun trip for this oldster.
Nicely done, Peter!

Off the couch, pre-nudges!
I got to it late this week.
I printed the puzzle at work before I left for the day and filled much of it on my bus ride home - but needed google to complete the grid and solve the meta.
Great puzzle!

Nope . . . looks like I'm going to have to take my clipboard to Date Night tonight (poor Mark). The last time that happened for an MMM was the eye chart puzzle!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Off the couch!
Not exactly a "nudge". But, I did need confirmation that I was on the right track.
Kudos to dudeski for the support!
Very clever meta, Abide!

Not even Peter's generous nudges got me off the couch; I needed our Cruise Director to activate the ejection seat. I had all the basics but strayed many nautical miles from the correct path! Oh well, at least I "solved" it before Date Night, much to Mark's relief. We ate our AMAZING shrimp quesadillas and strolled around town with no clipboard in sight.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
