    Only one song comes to mind for Boy Meets Girl. Maybe that'll get the ball rolling.

    1. Boy Meets Girl -- Waiting For A Star To Fall
    2. Bad Company -- superstar woman
    3. Bob Dylan -- shooting star

    @Watching_The_Wheels I would guess you are correct. Give us a new one if you have one in mind.

    These are not correct. Here’s a general clue for the theme of all 3 songs:
    “These are only 3 song examples - Exactly 9 more songs would be needed to make this equation complete”

    Songs 1 and 2 are correct. Although the theme is close, it’s not correct. I’ll let it simmer a little more before I give the answer...

    Song - originally written for a movie released in 1955. 3 different singers hit the top 10 for this song in 1955. It was again in the top 10 in 1995. It has been a hit in many, many countries, also making the top 10 in U.K. in 1955. It has been nominated for an Emmy, and a Grammy, and is still one of my favorites of all time.
