"Spill the Wine."   (I keep thinking it's "Spill the wine and dig that pearl" rather than "take that pearl", which is a lot better than once thinking the line was "Do I take that girl?")

That would be Rocket Man (I Think it's Going To Be a Long, Long Time) official title.

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.

"Money for Nothing".  And your chicks for free.  Used to think the CHECKS were for free before I read the lyrics, back then.

Nowadays they can't play the album version of the song- people complained.

("That little f***** with the earring and the makeup. Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair! That little f&&&&&& got his own jet airplane. That little f%%%%%, he's a millionaire.")

Next song.   

 

"Hi! (Hi!) We're your weather girls,  (Uh-huh) And have we got news for you! (You better listen) Get ready all you lonely girls, And leave those umbrellas at home!"

I'm shocked. 

It was " the Weather Girls" with their one hit, "It's Raining Men." 

It was so successful, they changed their name to " the Weather Girls"  because people confused the line claiming they were meteorologists giving a weather report for the name of the band.

Of course.

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that.

Sounds vaguely familiar, but nothing's springing to mind.

Next line: "Oh No""

Cheryl Crowe maybe, "If it Make You Happy"?  I know I don't need to name the artist but I'm just thinking out loud.
