and...

-somebody has to say it...

I write the songs which is a popular song written by Bruce Johnston in 1975 and recorded by David Cassidy, Captain & Tennille and Barry Manilow the same year. Manilow's version reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1976, and it became one of his signature songs. Frank Sinatra sang it as "I sing the songs".

and...

Sing - Carpenters

Turn up the music - Sammy Hagar

When they were dancin' and singin'

and movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me

somebody turned around and shouted:

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie

and play that funky music till you die...

-Rocker

-Rock N Roll Singer

-It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock N Roll)

-High Voltage

-There's Gonna Be Some Rockin

-R.I.P.(Rock In Peace)

I nominate...

•Boston - Feelin' Satisfied

Don't forget "Rock & Roll Band".

Then of course, there was ZZ Top's "Heard It On The X", a song about growing up listening to a pirate radio station out of Mexico... and whose title a certain SF member adopted for his username, with one small change in honor of his satellite radio provider. ;)
