    Not what I was looking for. Searching the date will give you a particular day that is included in the song's title.
    Also, the clue gives, with a little rewording, the first line of the song.
    As well, a little broader thinking, you also get the name of the band.

    It was a Sunday according to this site. Funny that two songs by the same band might work. I had thought of that too.

    Found it, but I'll wait in the penalty box a bit in case someone else knows the answer.

    Hey You

    Definitely did some research for this one. BTO I know. Pink Floyd isn't on my playlist.

    BTO's "Hey You" used to be on the radio all of the time, back in the day. Never makes it on the air, anymore. One of my favorite BTO songs.

    @deckerp you're up.

    Speaking of never hearing on the radio anymore. I was just noticing this very popular band from the 70s and 80s that I don't hear that much anymore.

    Large bore police revolver / Dream + young lady = [band/song]

    38 Special/Fantasy Girl

    I believe I still hear "Hold On Loosely" on the radio. But, you're right; they've had a lot of hits you just don't hear anymore.

    deckerp Posts: 4,451 Member
    Correct. That's what I was looking for.

    Hopefully we'll hear more .38 Special.

    From the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack.

    My wife always gets John Fogerty and John Cafferty mixed up. :)

    I bought a couple John Cafferty albums after the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack. The album Tough All Over was a good one. Really liked that whole album.
