    @Mustang_Susie & @deckerp , you'll both need to go way further back for this one.

    Okay, here's an easy one (for the real oldtimers..yeah me)
    Here's a new twist to the ROCK+ROLL ARITHMEITIC:
    STOP THE PRESSES: HEADLINES!!!

    How to play: take the long-azzed hint below, and, in Newsman fashion, cull it down into the simple Frontpage Headline and song

    @ReneJannett - not a problem. I think you were responding to a clue that was a long time ago?

    @deckerp, you got 2 out of three. And I think I messed up a little, so I'll give a few hints:
    Jackson 5 - xxx - (released 1978 - not one of their most famous ones, but I've been hearing it on my running playlists)
    KC and the Sunshine Band - (I'm Your) xxxx - I thought the song was just xxxx, so that's why I included it
    Bangles - Manic Monday
    Mamas and the Papas - Monday Monday

    A one hit wonder from a bit more recent years.

    (Man in the lion's den + dry solid with large number of tiny particles) + (1 / good + 1 / night) = (artist + song)

    Google researched.
    I have heard this song but I’m not as familiar with the names of more contemporary songs or artists.

    I’m off to the penalty box...
