Shame on the Moon— Bob Seger
I first heard this on a 9 hour flight from Hamburg to Anchorage, so it came around about eight times. It had one of my favorite verses of all time:
"Some men go crazy
"Some men go slow
"Some men go just where they want
"Some men never go."
Walk in the Sun—Bruce Hornsby
"Some people come here for love
"Some people come for fantasy
"When two in the morning comes around
"My baby comes around for me."
