You know it's all
Part of the feeling that goes with the fall
Looks like you win
And I lose but then love will come again
Send me no invitation
To your farewell
Don't need no inspiration
No wishin' well

Editor: Since I wasn't sure of the exact title of the Patty Duke song "Don’t Just Stand There", I listed the B-side (Say Something Funny). Since it charted at #22, will that count as a correct answer as well?
1) Whitesnake
Taylor Dayne
Debbie Gibson
Samantha Fox
Sounds familiar, but can't place it.

4) Mick Jagger
5) "If I Fell?"

pjazz,

malc,
it definitely counts...i can't believe you knew the b side...
beck,
i'm not altogehter unfamiliar with Steve Miller's catalog, but this one slipped by me...what LP is it on? and i take it you don't like REO? they're EASILY as good as Steve Miller (but that ain't sayin' much...abra, abra cadabra...i wanna reach out and grab ya? pure genius... (just funnin' with ya)
best to you,
Editor
"Dance Dance Dance" is on SM's Fly Like an Eagle and also his Greatest Hits.
I like old REO Speedwagon, and some of their '80s stuff, but I absolutely hated that sappy ballad. And I always made fun of Kevin Cronin's drawn-out R's.
I had forgotten that I used to make fun of KC's drawn out R's too. Although I don't hate "Can't Fight This Feeling", it's far from my favorite REO tune. Perhaps my favorite song by them is "I Do'wanna Know" from that same album (Wheels Are Turnin'). Cool song and hilarious video!
