Obscure (or not so much) music reference

Is it "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer?

If so:

You Cannot Consistently Obtain What You Desire - 1969

[telecom_goddess]

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

[smfrazier]

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

The Lads have Returned To The Small City - 1976

[Crossbow]

Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo.

You got it. Next?

[ReadyToRetire]

Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo.

[Crossbow]

Ok, several days, and hint time.

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

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

Is it Devil And Daughter by Black Sabbath?

If so:

Happiness To The Earth - 1971

I've been gone for several days because my computer has been down, but I'm back. I hope this thread hasn't died.

Is it Mean Mug by Soulja Boy?

It is indeed Mean Mug.

Wow. Did I hit one that's too obscure? Or has the game pretty much run its course?
