    I just heard a song that gave me an inspiration.

    Gilbert O'Sullivan + Tennessee Williams = [song]

    Sorry Susie.

    One of Gilbert O'Sullivan's big hits has a line that matches one of Tennessee Williams' play names.

    I have them all but Cochran....thinking. Doh! I did a search.

    @RunTimer you should check out the Kid Rock song. You'd probably like it. It's kind of a mash up of Werewolves Of London and Sweet Home Alabama. (It's better than it sounds)

    Don Henley Boys of Summer
    Seals & Crofts Summer Breeze

    This song is like a time capsule of the era. It's a wonder how many of the artists are still relevant. To me, anyway.

    I get a kick out of this video. It always makes me laugh. Check it out.

    I certainly can't do any better. To be honest, I couldn't even come close.

    Hint: It's not The Carpenters and it isn't the first song I think of for them, but it was a hit. Feel free to research. I probably wouldn't come up with this one from memory, but it'll jump off the page at you from a few searches I think.

    Donny and Marie is correct. Deep Purple is not the song I was looking for.

    Morning Side Of The Mountain was the song.

    My gosh! You were up at 2:16 AM? That's a lot of research!
