"You're So Vain," Carly Simon (number 1 1973-01-06); irony of singing "you probly think this song is about you" to a guy the song is clearly about, but "clouds in my coffee" makes it for me.

"Dancing with Mr. D.," Rolling Stones (1973); I turned 16 that year. Having some trouble remembering but I think it was my first year of 10th grade. Summer at Grandma's in MI playing this in the rec room...

"Live to Tell," Madonna (number 1 1986-06-07); so moody and world-weary--you get a sense that this is the real person, not the idol--it's my favorite Madge song.

"Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Paul Simon (1972); you might perceive that I've looked for songs mentioning school for each of these years and not always found one...

"Wuthering Heights," Kate Bush; a long time ago, a friend sent me a cassette with Kate Bush on one side and XTC on the other. What a gift!

"Aerial," Kate Bush

"Get Down Tonight," KC & the Sunshine Band (number 1 1975-08-30); there was so much getting down in the 70s I'm surprised anyone ever got back up! (To be fair, some didn't.)

"Good Morninng Little School Girl," Johnny Winter (1971); hit me like a ton of something. I would end up seeing Johnny live at least seven times, from 1974 to 2009, in venues from club to arena. Always great!

"ABC," the Jackson 5 (number1 1970-04-25); I remember the Jacksons hit the airwaves like a category 5 tornado. The sheer energy was stunning! There really hadn't been anything like them before.
@mlevel.bsky.social#MlevelSongs #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #SchoolDaysMusic
"Timothy," the Buoys (1970); intentionally controversial song implying cannibalism--savvy move by writer Rupert Holmes!
