    Sorry... for now, the clue stands on it's own. If you think you know it, post it.

    The song seems like "Dancing In The Streets". I'm having trouble landing on a group. My Saturday night activity was cruising. That might be Eddie and the Cruisers, but they didn't do that song as far as I know. Maybe that'll ring a bell for someone else.

    Slight cheat. Had the band right away, but had a hard time digging up the title.

    Hot Chocolate + April Wine = song

    Lol, whatever it takes, right? Well done! :)

    Oh! That would be "You Could Have Been a Lady".
    Personally, prefer the Hot Chocolate version. What about y'all?

    I heard the AW version first by many years. I really like both versions.

    Strange that you chose this clue, Billy... I remembered that both groups did the song, while listening to a classic station, just the day before yesterday! Another Hot Chocolate is Brother Louie, covered by Stories.

    I had to search for one of the clues. That gave the whole thing away. Someone will come up with it.

    I figured out the group but they aren't usually on my playlist, so I don't know many of their songs.

    I've heard of the song, though I can't say that I've ever
    actually heard it! My have to go find a YT video :)

    Dan Fogelberg had a version of that on one of his albums. I liked it.

    I just heard an 80s song I like. The band is a one hit wonder I think and the song is a hard one for me to find clues for.

    Correct. I thought that one might take some investigation. It's a good song but one I don't hear often. Go bitxbit.

    I remembered the song, but, I admit... the group was tricky! Good one, though!

    Maybe something like....

    Aerosmith -- Crazy?

    I'd think it was something to do with eyes because of Feldman, but I can't match it up yet.
  • bitxbit
    bitxbit Posts: 1,465 Member
    Good guess, but no cigar. Lol. Loved his eyes!

    Clue #2... Tyler's & Feldman's words were the same. ;)
