This is where I say that Joe Jackson is a greatly underrated artist, and you would do well to listen to more of his music. This is also where I confess that sometimes when I am out walking the dog at night, I will sing “Walking the dog, walking the dog” to myself to the tune of and in the style of Judas Priest’s “Breaking The Law”. I don’t know what you may want to do with that information, but now you have it.
Neglected to list the actual song of that name by Foreigner.
+1 and more for Joe Jackson! 40 years ago, his was often the opening music to nights out along the shore and those words and music stand up well today.
-1 for Niel Sedaka. (What WERE you thinking?!) But let me offer a replacement from a true master of pop-schlock–a sweet little tune that really speaks in today’s language, despite its 45(?) years: https://youtu.be/6-kjUWcr7d4.
