Thx for the welcome!
OK, we're gonna go back a about three and 3/4 decades for this one,

"It can't be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be
Just to do your thing
is the hardest thing to do "

I'll even kick in the genre of "popular music"

Something a little more contemporary...........

It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing, all that time in England

Has sent me aimlessly,
On foot or by the help of transportation,
To knock on windows where
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.

NO ONE recognizes this tune? I'll bet it's been played more than any other song on the TV!

He needs to be out driving his MINI instead of watching tv! I didn't even know they had a song, just a talking Gecko.

I guess we hurt Dave's feelings and he doesn't want to play with us any more! :shock:

Here is one that was an "ear worm" for me yesterday.

You got a cute way of talking
You got the better of me

Just a minor correction: "Somebody To Love." I have "Surrealistic Pillow in an LP. One of the great albums of the sixties. We were all hot for Gracie. :)

Let's get the kids involved again!
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Originally performed by The Sweet, but with all the covers, I figure someone had to know it. You may proceed!
