What comes to mind is John (Cougar) Mellencamp's "R.O.C.K. In the USA":
"There was Frankie Lyman-Bobby Fuller- Mitch Ryder
(They were Rockin')
Jackie Wilson-Shangra-las-Young Rascals
(They were Rockin')
Spotlight on Martha Reeves
Let's don't forget James Brown..."
OK, going by Katie's definition, I'd have to say...
"The Girl Is Mine"- Michael Jackson + Paul McCartney. Seriously... 2 guys arguing about who the girl "belongs" to. Haven't decided if it's more sexist or inane.
"Heart Attack"- Olivia Newton John.Hated this song so much in college that I actually made a bet that I'd EAT the single if it went to #1 on the US charts (thank God it only made it to #3!!).
Hey!, The Fabulous T-Birds are still around!! They were touring in Summer of '04 when I saw them with the re-constituted Journey (whatever happened to Steve Perry after he left, anyways.. .).
New poster here, but I gotta add my $0.02 worth:
Offspring- "Gone Away"
AC/DC- "Money Talks"
NIN- "Head Like A Hole"
Rolling Stones- "Gimme Shelter"
INXS- "Bitter Tears"
Foreigner- "Break It Up"
Seether- "Broken" (OK, not a "classic" band, but still a great song)
Don Henley- "In The Garden Of Allah"
