Lyrically Speaking - 1/22/19

Well, who else did you expect to follow up Evil Squirrel? Yes, it is I, the evil but lovable raccoon who will host this week's Tuesday Wordplay game. Every song's got a word in common in the title... you know the drill. Someone wanna scritch me while I finish off this dead possum I found in Holly's trash can? Is today Raccoon Appreciation Day? No? Well, that fucking sucks...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things.
2. We were so in love you and me
On the boulevard wild and free
Giving all we got, we laid it down
Taking every shot, we took the town
3. I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
4. Well, our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
5. We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois
6. You say that you're at home when you phone me
And how much you really care
Though you keep telling me that you're lonely
I'll know if someone is there
7. You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
8. Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will, they're out there still
9. Oh-- I won't talk about the past
How love's supposed to last forever
And you -- Don't have to take a stand
Lay out any plans
10. My brother Bill and my other brother Jack,
Belly full of beer and a possum in a sack,
Fifteen kids in the front porch light
11. We like a longneck and a good old song.
Turn it up and then we'll sing along. Sing along.
12. She's just sixteen years old
Leave her alone, they say
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains the word of the day in its title.
Image Bonus: If you know the magic word, then show me a fitting image.
