Almost any other Van Halen song would have stumped me but for some reason I remember"Big Bad Bill"
I can't tell you why,but I also remember " Billy Don't Be A Hero","Will You Marry Me Bill?","Can You Bake A Cherry Pie, Billy Boy?" and last but not least----"Don't Mess With Bill"

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

The Clash...Rock the Casbah.
Had the whole town scared to death,
When he walked by they all held their breath,
He's a fighting man, sure enough

"Get Around." I believe by the Beach Boys, though it could be Jan and Dean; they were pretty much interchangeable.

Those were about the only 3 lines in the song that wouldn't have given it away. :)

GSG! I think it's "I Get Around"... but that's close enough for government work! (but not for making acid)

(but not for making acid)---------I wonder if that's where they got the line"I've got a real cool 'head', I'm makin' lots of 'bread'."?

Here's the one that made me grow up
So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
What went wrong, hmm
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well, you're twenty-one and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too long, oh, oh oh yeah yeah

I'm gonna leave here walkin', partner, 'cause I'm pawnshop bound.
I need some money in my pocket 'cause I feel like I'm sinkin' down.
Sorry, just foolin' around while we're waiting for Pawnbroker
That's from "Pawnshop Bound" by Wm. Clarke
Mr. Pawn, Pawn Pawnin' broker
I need to talk to you
I have a hard time
When my little rent comes due.

I'm gonna pawn my ring
I'm gonna pawn my stereo
My T.V. and everything
Just to get some money
I'm gonna pawn everything
Mr pawn, pawn, pawnin' broker, still waiting to hear from you. :)

while we wait lets all get together and sing
Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise
And songs to Alma Mater raise
While our hearts rebounding thrill
With joy which death alone can still
Summer's heat or winter's cold
The seasons pass the years will roll
Time and change will surely (truly) show
How firm thy friendship ... OHIO!
These jolly days of priceless worth
By far the gladdest days on earth
Soon will pass and we not know
How dearly we love Ohio
We should strive to keep thy name
Of fair repute and spotless fame
So in college halls well grow
And love thee better ... OHIO!
Though age may dim our mem'ry's store
We'll think of happy days of yore
True to friend and frank to foe
As sturdy sons of Ohio
If on seas of care we roll
Neath blackened sky or barren shoal
Thoughts of thee bid darkness go
Dear Alma Mater...OHIO!
