Good one, Cyn!

If you think Billy Joel is crazy, You May Be Right.

This one is from 1980 as well. It's upbeat, energetic, and fun, and I really like it. These days, I hear it A LOT on the car radio:

You really know how to dance
When you go up, down, jump around
Think about true romance, yeah

Keep on whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
‘Cause that’s true…

I know that one is called “What I Like About You”. The trouble is I don’t remember who did it. It sure is upbeat, energetic and fun though. I like it too, Jim. Good choice.

I can’t resist swaying back and forth to this one from 1983:

After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun

I remember that one, Cyndee, and the fact that I'd have the tune in my head for the rest of the day whenever I heard it. Good one!

That's It's A Mistake, by Men At Work.

Here's one from 1960 (US#2, UK#1):

She's much too nice to rearrange

(If you haven't already looked it up, Cyn, What I Like About You was sung by The Romantics. They also did Talking In Your Sleep, a song that appeared on this thread about a week ago.)

Ahh - I see we have climbed out of the morass known as the eighties!

That was Poetry in Motion - Johnny somebody was first - followed by several.

Guess the decade!

Sixteen Reasons, by Connie Stevens, right? Hmmm...late 50s or very early 60s. I'm goin' with early 60s. Just a guess.

I don't quite remember the lyrics well enough to say which of the sixteen reasons those two happen to be.

OK, staying away from the morass of the 80s here, lol:

They're always havin a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them Delta women think the world of me

I can hear the melody - just can't catch the title yet.

That gets a lot of play on the classic rock stations, around here at least. It’s “Ramblin’ Man”. I think it was done by the Alman Brothers.

Sorry this one from 1975 is so sticky:

I wish I've never met you, girl

Just kidding. Actually, I like it, but I can't remember the guy's name. #@&+$*% !!!

Oh, well.

Here's one:

Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow

Hint: It's a very popular, mainly 70s, Swedish pop group.

Adding another line:

Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
