Just guessing "9 to 5" because that's the first Dolly song that comes to mind.

But it isn't.....cause I did some research.

I'm way late to the party, but saw this awesome version yesterday:

entire clue is the song, underlined text gives you the artist.

Bunker Hill combatants, Obi Wan Kenobi (during his final fight with Anakin), but not Mr. S. Junkins) would agree, this place is the best area to occupy during a battle.

Song should be Higher Ground I think.

That's what I was thinking as well.
To my knowledge, it's one of two artists, but the clue has me stumped.

RunTimer

@Deckerp, you're so right.
Sorry @Mustang_Susie , (and all others) here's the breakdown:

• Obiwan's final words to Anakin before slicing his legs and arms off were "I have the Higher Ground"
• any army general knows (and as Bunker Hill almost proved) to always seek Highest Ground
• and finally, The musical genius who penned the song was born Steveland Junkins (aka Stevie Wonder)*

*his intent was spiritual not martial

Okay, @Deckerp, you're up!

Mustang_Susie

Hmm... ok...
but I love this cover, I saw them open for the Stones in '89

I was pretty sure of the song title, but the artist just didn't click for me. I did see Red Hot Chili Peppers too, but didn't think that was likely. Stevie Wonder is a hall of famer, but not on my playlist much. Catchy tunes though and this is one I remember for sure.

Thinking on a new one.........

Currently playing on iHeart Radio's Classic AT40.

Mr Boone + Louise Lasser's most famous character / sleepy fantasizing about you = [artist/song]
