I recognized "Our House" from the chorus there, but never knew it was CSN. I'm not bad at some 70s tunes, but I'm best with 80s tunes. From the 90s, there's a number I can recognize, but after 2000, very little.
With 60s tunes, I may know a few. It's mostly in what got classic rock airplay in the decades following.
As long as they don't have Young's screechy voice, I'm okay with them.
After looking at the song again it was a CSNY song after all. But I don't think Neil Young contributed to it at all because he isn't mentioned as a musician on Our House even though it was on the CSNY album "Deja Vu".
The last time I was down there they lost my shoes
They had some cat shoutin' the blues
The people was yellin' and shoutin' for more
And all they kept sayin' was-a "Go man, go"
You take Sally and I'll take Sue
And we're gonna rock away all of our blues
Come on (come on, let me show you where it's at)
Come on (come on, let me show you where it's at)
I wanna show you (come on, let me show you where it's at)

I'm going, I'm going Where the water tastes like wine I'm going Where the water tastes like wine We can jump in the water Stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city Got to get away I'm gonna leave this city Got to get away All this fussing and fighting Man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk You know we've got to leave today Just exactly where we're going I cannot say But we might even leave the U.S.A. 'Cause there's a brand new game that I wanna play
You may think I'm fooling
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that

This is "PNK CADILLAC." I'm familiar with Bruce Springsteen's version (and bass line), but Tina Turner was someone else who did this song.
"The band begins at ten to six, when Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound.
And Mr. H. will demonstrate ten summersets he'll undertake on solid ground."
Benefit of Mr. Kite ~Beatles~ Just checked out the album Sgt Pepper. I didn't have the name of the song quite right. It looks as though it is officially titled "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" If I'm considered a cheater I will understand. I will leave that up to WordWolf.

If you came up with "Benefit of Mr Kite- Beatles" BEFORE looking anything up, then I find that was fair, so honestly, did you?
BTW, I would have accepted that as the correct answer.

You're asking me if I cheated and looked it up WordWolf? I've only heard the song a thousand times and knew it instantly. So no, I looked it up on the album jacket AFTER my first post because something was telling me that the song title wasn't quite right. I couldn't cheat and then pretend that it wouldn't matter. We've played games here and I'm having fun. I enjoy it. I don't cheat. What's the point? I like to think that a display of honesty is virtuous. What do say we lighten this up and not be so serious? OK. My turn next. Give me a few thanks.
Human, I'm pretty sure that WW was saying that he believed you guessed the right song and then looked up the title, which was fine. It was you who suggested that that might be cheating.
FWIW, I don't think I've ever HEARD of "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite." Was it just an album cut, or did it actually get airplay? (If it didn't get airplay, then WW technically cheated.)

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

This reminds me of the Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Rumble in Brighton". I don't think it's the answer, but that's what it reminds me of.

The actual title is simply "I Like It Like That." I think the Kingsmen might have performed it first, but it's the DC5 cover I remember best.
Human is up.

Not really familiar, though I'm experiencing a ghost of a memory. I've probably heard it, but I don't know it.

Good enough. Springsteen wrote and performed it. I don't think Turner performed it; you might be thinking of Natalie Cole's version. You're up.

I MUST be thinking of Natalie Cole's version. Sure sounded like someone else, though.
