Name the song the line is from Part II

Well - I was doing OK on Sunday

Yeah, I've got a feeling I'm going to have to give this one up, Tony -- even with the extra hints.

Cyndee said it sounded familiar, so I'd like for her to see the hints, but she may not be available tonight.

At any rate, I'll give it up before I log out for the evening, which won't be too much longer. Remember, I'm two hours ahead of you guys.


BTW, whatever it is you're doing that's keeping you so busy lately, send a little of it down this way, please. Our economy needs the help.

I’ve been out celebrating a birthday with a special dinner tonight. But, now I know the song. Thanks for the extra lines, Jim. It’s “Mickey” by Toni Basil.

A big hit from 1984:

I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Nicely done, Cyndee! I was sure I had posted a loser.

I've got to be up extra early tomorrow, so I think I'll log out a little early tonight. I like the song you picked, Cyn, but I'm sure Tony's gonna know it, too.


See everyone tomorrow!

You are right Jim!
Great song by a great band - I Want to Know What Love Is.

BTW Jim - I will be contributing to the US economy soon - Laughlin and Vegas for Christmas

Sixties

My folks won't let me 'cause they say that she's no good

Good choice, Tony. The four seasons sounded great when they sang “Rag Doll”.

So did these guys:

When I want you and all your charms

Edited to add: I'm jealous of your Christmas plans, Tony.

That's Don and Phil singing a real classic: All I Have To Do Is Dream.



How 'bout this:

And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

Hello, everyone.

I’ve been away this morning. I’m going to assume this has been seen but not identified. That means it’s …HINT TIME!

First, a few more lines of lyrics:


In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in
And the tide’s gonna turn
And it’s all gonna roll your way


It’s a female artist.

The title of this #1 (US) 1980 song was also the title of a short-lived Broadway play whose score was written by this multi-talented artist, and a 1980 hit movie starring this artist, along with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dabney Coleman.

Is that "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton?

Leaving for work in a few minutes ...

I missed guessing that one while I was looking for a song to post. So, I at least have one handy.

This is also from 1980:

You stepped into my life from a bad dream
