Super-fun puzzle with 53D-worthy construction! Like @BarbaraK, I couldn't tell you a thing about this song, but I got the answer!

This one was so clever! Five theme entries with "gap" in the middle, and the words on either side of the gap are alternate answers to other clues.
Makes me say, how did they do that?!
