93D: “More elements like this, please,” I imagine constructors thinking when they need a letter run like YTTRIUM. Today’s ThemeThis is one of those title-dependent themes that is a piece of cake to explain, at least as long as you all know what a karaoke bar is. I needed a little more information to get the rest (and there’s one that I didn’t know at all). Each clue referred to a different sort of “bar” that turned out to be relevant — the examples above were “candy,” “wet” and “space” bars. People sang karaoke at them, too, — a lot of disco.)
