Pop Song (non-Disney) Fiction ID

Post by Lazario »

Let's try and find how many popular songs are in our stories / passages.

Most of these songs are from the 80's but a few are from the 90's, and a couple are from the 70s and earlier. There are 44 songs mentioned in total. This one is played out in a 3-person telephone conversation:
  • Her: Hello turn your radio on.
  • Him: Hi, it's Major Tom, I'm coming home.
  • Her: No, don't.
  • Him: Why should I? I don't want to wait.
  • Her: Because... tonight is the killing moon, a new moon on Monday.
  • Him: So?
  • Her: We're through.
  • Him: Don't do me like that. What have I done to deserve this?
  • Her: You don't know what a girl wants, or what it feels like for a girl. I need someone to call my lover, not a father figure, a brand new lover.
  • Him: Well... I feel for you, but I get weak. I drove all night because I know there's something going on.
  • Her: And there's someone else. A private dancer, he's my new toy. We flashdance...what a feeling! I wanna dance with somebody who loves me.
  • Him: All she wants to do is dance. I'll bet he dances in blue suede shoes.
  • Her: Yes.
  • Him: You're so vain. I hate everything about you.
  • Her: You should've known better. A change will do you good. I didn't mean to turn you on, you're still pretty fly for a white guy...
  • Him: And you're a pretty woman.
  • Her: ...but only the lonely can play.
  • Him: I should be so lucky. I'm the owner of a lonely heart.
  • Her: A girl in trouble is a temporary thing.
  • Him: For what it's worth, I've had the time of my life.
  • Her: I feel good, I can't fight this feeling anymore. Maybe one sweet day, we'll meet again.
  • Him: Only in my dreams.
  • Her: Sweet dreams are made of this - in these dreams, I hear you talking in your sleep.
  • Him: You're once in a lifetime.
  • Her: Thanks (hangs up).
  • Best friend: Don't you forget about me.
  • Her: No.
  • Best friend: Your dude looks like a lady.

That was so good, you picked up 1 I didn't plant, so that leaves 13 left. Though I think "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" was also done by REO Speedwagon, and was the song I was had in mind - all you had to pick out was the song title. So, good work.

Here is what is already picked out - in bold / the red is what turns out to be a pop song but I didn't know about. (and no one has to name the artists if they don't want to):
