September
"September" is a song by Earth, Wind & Fire written by Maurice White, Al McKay, and Allee Willis. It was recorded during the I Am sessions and released as a single in 1978. Featured on the band's album The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1, "September" reached number one on the US R&B chart, number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, and number three on the UK singles chart




The song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry and certified gold in the U.S. (Until the RIAA lowered the sales levels for certified singles in 1989, a Gold single equalled 1 million units sold.) "September" was later certified Gold for digital sales by the RIAA.






I heard this song in a movie called "The Intouchables"
I really like the main chorus as it always puts me in a good mood

Tiny Dancer 

"Tiny Dancer" is a 1971 song by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It appears on John's fourth album, Madman Across the Water, and was released as a single in 1972. In the U.S. it was certified Gold on 19 May 2005, and Platinum on 19 August 2011 by the RIAA

Due to the song lacking a strong hook, "Tiny Dancer" was initially a non-starter as a single in the US, reaching only #41 on the U.S. pop chart and was not even released as a single in the UK. The song fared better in Canada, where John had much of his early commercial breakthrough success, peaking at #19. It was also a hit in Australia, peaking at #13. Eventually, the song slowly became one of John's most popular songs even in the territories that initially failed to embrace it






I like this songs verses and I think its well written
It is quite long and it takes 2:42 seconds to get to the chorus which is bad if your in a hurry












Piano Man

"Piano Man" is the first single released by Billy Joel. It was released on November 2, 1973, and has been on several albums. Billy Joel's first major hit and his signature song, the song peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1974
"Piano Man" is a fictionalized retelling of Joel's experience as a piano-lounge singer for six months in 1972
When originally issued as a single, the song was deemed too long by Columbia Records executives
(5 minutes and 38 seconds), so two verses were cut in half and spliced together for the release as a 45, clocking in at 4 minutes and 33 seconds




This is possibly the best known Billy Joel song
It is a song that tells an interesting story of various characters and there loneliness
its an easy song to join in with

Come on Eileen

"Come On Eileen" is a song by English pop group Dexys Midnight Runners, released in the UK on 25 June 1982 as a single off their album Too-Rye-Ay.
 It was their second number one hit in the United Kingdom, following 1980's "Geno". The song was written by Kevin Rowland, "Big" Jim Paterson, Micky Billingham and Billy Adams; it was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.


"Come On Eileen" won Best British Single at the 1983 Brit Awards.


The best bit of this song is the part where all the song parts combine
I'm not too fond of the course but great verses easily outshine this deficit
