Nope, Eagles, Seven Bridges Road. Sang that one a bunch of times traveling home from Eastern PA to Ohio in high school.

I really do appreciate the fact you're sitting here.

That'd be Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw by Jimmy Buffet

I saw the lyrics and started tilting my head side to side, singing the next lines of the song. Awesome one! :)

Nope, that's Holy Diver by Dio! Great song! I love that it goes for like 2 minutes before they start singin' too!

(Though I'll confess I did not know According To You by Orianthi)
