      It is Almost Easy (this one was anyway. I'll try harder. )

      Yours is One Tin Soldier by Original Caste (Did not know this part. I only knew the 1971 cover by Coven for "Billy Jack.")

      • Is it Devil And Daughter by Black Sabbath?

        If so:

        Happiness To The Earth - 1971

          I thought this was an easy one. Another hint: It is also the name of a Christmas carol.

          Also, I'm still not sure if Devil and Daughter is right. I read that it was recorded in 1989, not 1985.

            Sorry, Devin and Daughter is correct. I typoed the date.

            Yours is "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night.

            Ok, now let's try a REAL 1985 song this time:

            Festival for a Corpse - 1985

            • Ok, several days, and hint time.

              The song was used in a 1986 comedy movie where Kurt Vonnegut made a cameo as himself.

                  • There doesn't seem to be a current song title.
                    How about:

                    The Lads have Returned To The Small City - 1976

                    Comment


                    • The Boys are Back In Town -- Thin Lizzy, plus Bon Jovi did a cover, numerous others.

                      Hooked on a Feeling...and no it's not THAT song but describes another released in 1986

                          Next guess: I'm Unable to Explain The Cause -- 1979 by a hugely popular band still around today.
