I always used to get that song mixed up with Sheena Easton's "9 to 5 (Morning Train)".

Maybe because they both have the word "morning" in them. I always, until recently in fact, thought they were by the same person. They were both songs I heard being played continually in the background when I was a kid, yet I never really cared to know who it was at that age.

Ottensen said:

This is kinda sad, cuz I listen to a lot of those songs at least once weekly. I've labeled the ones I can identify without resourcing.

Axchi696 said:

God, I adore this song.

Lots of 70's Elton John. And everyone else posted a lot of my favorites already. Like "Nights in White Satin".

more...

"Baker Street" of course and "Right Down the Line" by Gerry Rafferty.

"This Guy's in Love with You" and "Without Her" by Herb Alpert.

"Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon", "Sweet Caroline", "Song Song Blue", "I Am, I Said" by Neil Diamond.

I know some people here hate it, but Linda Ronstadt's version of "Blue Bayou".

"I Saw the Light" "Hello, It's Me", "Be Nice to Me", and "We Gotta Get You a Woman" by Todd Rundgren.

"The Things We Do For Love", "I'm Mandy Fly Me", and "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc.

"Muskrat Love" by The Captain and Tenille.

"Annie's Song", "Leaving on a Jet Plane" "Sunshine of My Shoulders", and "Sweet Surrender" by John Denver. (I guess that's more folk/country though)

and probably a bunch of Olivia Newton John.

Let's make gaybies together. I'll have to send you Dionne's version of This Girl's in Love With You. It's beautiful. I love almost any version of that song.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I think we talked about that before and how I had never heard her version of it.

I purposely didn't mention any Billy Joel though in my post because I didn't want to upset you so early in the morning.

minneapolisgenius said:

I will try to remember when I go home. It's one of those that can make me But you know...a good sugar high can do that to me these days. You can mention any Billy Joel song you want. That seal has already been broken in this thread.

minneapolisgenius said:

One of the most depressing songs ever, but I like it. Not nearly as depressing as In the Year 2525, but a downer nonetheless.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Zaeger and Evans what a fuckin' buzzkill that song is

IAintTheOne said:

Yeah, no shit. I think they excised the lyric "slit your wrists now bitches cuz it's almost over," once they realized that given the rest of the lyrical content, they didn't need it to tell people they were going to die a horrible death.

RipHer2Shreds said:

yeah that song scared people to fuckin' death

Holdin' on to Yesterday

wow im surprised no one chose "thats why im here" by James Taylor

In general I guess I like "lite". I changed a presetting on my Sirius from the Hits station (which plays pop and rock..mostly shit like My Chemical Romance and little else) to Starlite, which plays stuff like lite Madonna, Gloria Estafan, Seals and Croft, etc. I don't listen to it a lot like other stations but flip to it to see what they are playing.

IAintTheOne said:
