Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds

One more try:

I need fifty dollars to make you holler

"I get paid to do the Wild Thing" by 80s flash-in-the-pan(?) Tone Loc.

Here you go:

You've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises

Tone Loc I know about, only because my teenage kid wanted the cassette for Christmas. --s6

Eagles, Boys of Summer. Yay, I get to post mine.

I've got one foot in the graveyard
No one cares for me

OK, one more try. Same artist. Different song

Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin

Okay, cmhbob's second one has gotta be

Roll Me Away by Bob Seger

I don't know MaeZe's though, so that's still out there...which means hers is the most recent:

I've got one foot in the graveyard

No one cares for me

Correct! The first one was "The Fire Inside."

No sorry. Think music from the late 60s early 70s.

How about if I give you the whole refrain (remember, no cheating

).

Look out Joe, I'm fallin'
I can't unfold my arms
I've got one foot in the graveyard
No one cares
For me, cares for me

Not revealing the answer because I'll admit to cheating. That said, even after reading the song and artist, I still have no clue, and had never heard of the song before in my life.

Perhaps my age and lifestyle during that time are showing. :tongue

Why not come up with a new one that someone has a chance at guessing? Remember the goal isn't to completely stump the audience, otherwise, no one ever gets it right and continues the fun

OK, that one was, "Signed DC" sung by the band, LOVE.

https://genius.com/Love-signed-dc-lyrics

One of my favorite songs from that era.

Here's something newer and sad but not so dark:

"The last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire"

If no one gets it from that, I'll add more lines.

Boulder to Birmingham - Dolly Parton?

(I think this is right, but was wrong once already, so will await confirmation before throwing a new one out...)

Right song, different artist but lots of people have covered it. "Written by Bill Danoff, Emmylou Harris."

Good enough, your turn.

A smile from a veil, do you think you can tell...
One of my favourite songs, Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd.

Well I went home with the waitress, the way I always do

Right song, but he wasn't the original.
