"Africa" by Toto. Honestly, the only lyric I ever listened to is that "There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do." If you didn't give that, I would not have gotten it.
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down I had the radio on, I was drivin' Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway I was flyin'
I felt so good like anything was possible I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes The last three days the rain was un-stoppable It was always cold, no sunshine

My internet connection's a little wonky, but I'll give it a shot at posting.
This is the great guitar riff and accompanying song. "Running Down a Dream," by Tom Petty. It was one of the hits off of "Full Moon Fever."
Yes it is WW. That guitar riff is done by former Tom Petty band mate and lead guitarist Mike Campbell who now plays with Fleetwood Mac after he replaced Lindsey Buckingham (he was fired). In their concerts I heard they are playing some Tom Petty songs because of Stevie Nicks' connection with The Heartbreakers and now of course Mike is a band member.
Petty once said, of that song, that he'd stumbled across a riff that somehow escaped Led Zeppelin discovering it first. (Something to that effect, I don't have the exact wording.)
Ok, next song.
"She likes to travel around.
She'll love you and she'll put you down.
Now people let me put you wise-
She goes out with other guys."
I was going to post Del Shannon's "Little Runaway," since "Running Down a Dream" mentioned it. Then I realized I could do a less obvious song, also from Del Shannon. Turns out both he and Dion DiMucci did "Runaround Sue". So, obviously, either was correct and it's George's turn. (I hope my internet's done being quarrelsome henceforth.)
People, don't you understand The child needs a helping hand Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day? Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see Do we simply turn our heads, and look the other way?

Give me some more lines and I will give you the title and artist. I know it is a huge band like Boston or somebody.
And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed

Well, the world turns And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
"Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all."
That was one I could keep following along in my head until the title lyric showed up. And Smokey's voice is pretty rare.
To weave our dreams upon and listen To each evening when the lights are low To underscore our love affair with tenderness And feeling that we've come to know
To weave our dreams upon and listen
To each evening when the lights are low
To underscore our love affair with tenderness
And feeling that we've come to know
You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone

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

Now I won't have to worry about whether you have gone over the edge George. Yes, Africa is it. Nice recovery.
Your turn.

I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
I'm just happy travelin' 'round
With my two fists of iron, but I'm goin' nowhere!

*checks* Correct, on both title and artist!

Um, was this Elvis Presley singing "IN THE GHETTO"?

It was.
Elvis was the #1 recording artist in the 50s, the #2 artist in the 60s, and the #10 artist in the 70s (which he didn't even finish).
I'd say huge.
