    I was helped by being a fan of The Raspberries. Their Best of is worth having.

    Speaking of berries.

    Shortened berries / satirical labour anthem = band / song

    Total guess.

    Chuck Berry -- School Day (Ring Ring Goes The Bell)

    Nope. Think organized labour.

    Further hints. Rick Wakeman played keyboards with the band for 2 albums, and 2 other members left to form The Monks. Anyone remember 'Drugs In My Pocket'?

    The 2 members who left were Hudson & Ford. Does that help at all?

    I had the band right away but had to check on the song.

    S.O.S. Band -- Take Your Time (Do It Right)

    Odd as it may seem I do have this in my collection. I like disco, what can I say.

    Me, too!
    I was at work on break when I saw Billy's confirmation, so I quick got on Pandora and that was the song playing on my '80s station.

    Sticking with the disco theme. Something from The Martian soundtrack.

    Vickie Sue Robinson + Gloria Estefan = [song]

    If you haven't heard the Estefan version you should listen to it. It's so close to the original the biggest difference is the recording quality since it was done 18 years later. Wikipedia also shows a Laura Branigan version. I'll have to find that.

    Turn the beat around
    It's cool, because the later (Estefan's) is more of a tribute than a version..its almost a beat for beat match

    Although I know I'm right, I'm not going to make the mistake I have (so often in the past) of jumping in without confirmation, so @deckerp , I'm right!, right? :)

    You are so right. I think it's like a tribute too.

    Okay, this one is easy (yea, I've said that before) so I went out of my way to add some complexity

    Correct of course and easy.

    They banned that song at our college parties due to some different lyrics. Does anyone else remember that?
