Comment:

Another little musical puzzle, and a companion disc to my Wind in Sails mix from a few months ago. In fact, the solutions to both riddles -- what the tracks all have in common -- are quite similar, and both are offered by the hidden track, which sums up the previous tracks to a faretheewell.  [album art full size]

Oh no. Not this again. I still haven't recovered all the valuable brain cells I lost trying to solve the last conundrum. Okay. I'll put my thinking cap on...

Dont know the missing track but something in the recesses of my memory tells me these all featured on Weird Al Jankovic's Polka series in the mid 80's.

Give the man a prize! Those 12 songs are all featured in Weird Al's "Hooked on Polkas" from 1985. If you want a copy of the mix, it's yours, no trade required!
