5 pop songs with few clues, part A

Here are 5 songs, mostly pop, which I heard in Washington state in 2009 on various business music systems (restaurants, radios, stores, etc.). I jotted down a few notes and sometimes lyrics in hopes of later identifying them, but not enough notes to easily identify them yet. Most of these songs aren't of particularly high importance to me, other than #1 (harmonics) that I'd love to identify, so please don't knock yourself on them. The harmonics one I will post in more detail in a later thread.

----------

(1) electric guitar harmonics [SOLVED]

This is a familiar song that dates back to I believe the 1980s. This should be the easiest of all these songs to identify, despite the paucity of clues, since it's relatively well known. I've heard it plenty of times over the years on pop radio stations but until last year it wasn't interesting enough to me to take special note of it. This is the one of this set I'd most like to identify.

The only part I remember for sure is the intro. There is an electric guitar with (I believe) tapped harmonics, and one of the notes is bent upwards briefly in a pretty 3rd-to-4th-to-3rd (scale tone) melody. It's a slow, soft ballad, so this isn't Van Halen / Guns N' Roses type tapped harmonics on a distorted guitar. It's a clean, pretty sound.

I don't even know if the vocalist is male or female. It could even be a duet. I don't know any lyrics. It's possible that the reason I didn't write down the lyrics is that they are too soft or too difficult to discern. I have the impression it was a black male singer, but I could be completely wrong. The general sound was a lot like "One Hundred Ways" by Quincy Jones featuring James Ingram...

...but this is definitely not the correct song, just an indicator of the style. I went through all of Quincy Jones' greatest hits and it wasn't any of those. The target song was slower than the tempo of the above song, more like "Just Once" by Quincy Jones, but again, this is just an example of style, probably not even the correct artist...

The scale tones on the melody I mentioned are: 3 2 3-4-3 1. That intro riff is played at least once more in the song, in the middle, and I think the song might even fade out with that riff playing repeatedly. The song is in 4/4 time. When I get a chance I'll post myself playing this on my guitar, for a separate thread.

SOME SONGS IT IS NOT: (I looked these up on Google based on mention of guitar harmonics)

Beautiful Day (U2)
Women in Love... (Van Halen, 1979, "Van Halen II" album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLEPBeZJvkY (in case you don't know what clean electric guitar tapped harmonics sound like)
Calling Out Your Name (Rich Mullins)
Don't Do Me Like That (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers)
Lil Jack Horny (Extreme)
Sweet Child O'Mine (Guns N' Roses)
Machine Head (Imperium)

----------

(2) "yak yak yak" oldie

The only lyrics I could discern were:

"yak yak yak"
?"I wanna know"
"girl talk"

Very unfortunately, I didn't write down if the singer was male or female. Most likely it was male. It's most likely an oldie from the 1960s, since the other songs played at that same place that day were the following. (The Halloween-related songs were no doubt played because this was just before Halloween.)

Get Ready (The Temptations, 1966)
I Ain't Superstitious (Howlin' Wolf, 1961)
Gina in the Kings Road (Al Stewart, 2005)
You've Made Me So Very Happy (Blood, Sweat & Tears, 1968)
Ghostbusters (Ray Parker Jr., 1984)
If He Should Ever Leave You (Tom Jones, 2008)
Talking In Your Sleep (The Romantics, 1983)
Josie (Steely Dan, 1977)
Uptown Girl (Billy Joel, 1983)
Honky Tonk Women (The Rolling Stones, 1969)
Monster Mash (Bobby "Boris" Pickett, 1962)
You're All I Need To Get By (Marvin Gaye, 1968)

SOME SONGS IT IS NOT:

Girls Talk (Dave Edmunds, 1979, "Repeat When Necessary" album)
Girl Talk (TLC, 2002, "3D" album)
Yakety Yak (The Coasters, 1958)
Yak Yak Yak (Robert Parker, 1967)

----------

(3) "I found a new dance"

The only lyrics I could discern were:

"I found a new dance"
?"take me by the hand"

This was played in the same place and location as #2 above. This will probably be too hard to identify since so many songs have these lyrics, and I didn't write down the sex of the singer.

SOME SONGS IT IS NOT:

Levitate (Dr. Hook, 1975, "Bankrupt” album)
The Loco-Motion (Little Eva, 1962)

----------

(4) "it's not enough to"

The only lyrics I could discern were:

"it's not enough to"

It's a male singer, and the sound is Calypso-like. Other songs playing at the same place on that same day were the following, so it's possible this song could be from the last 16 years, or maybe an '80s oldie.

Something About You (Level 42, 1985)
Dance Into The Light (Phil Collins, 1996)
The Longest Time (Billy Joel, 1983)
When I Finally Get My Own Place (Aqualung, 2008)
Seriously (Crosby Loggins, 2009)
When We Are Together (Texas, 1999)
True Blue (Madonna, 1986)
The Logical Song (Supertramp, 1979)

SOME SONGS IT COULD BE (I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO THEM YET):

IT'S NOT ENOUGH (SWING OUT SISTER)
IT'S NOT ENOUGH (ATTICA BLUES)

SOME SONGS IT IS NOT:

Goodbye (Secondhand Serenade)
It's Not Enough (Starship)
It's Not Enough (Youth Brigade)
It's Not Enough To Believe (Pennywise 10)
NOT ENOUGH (VAN HALEN)
Untouched (The Veronicas)

----------

(5) "see every star"

The only lyrics I could discern were:

"see every star"
"connected"

The singer is a black male, and there is an electric piano playing arpeggios in the song. Other songs played at that same place that day were the following, so the song is likely an oldie from the '60s or '70s, or at least some mellow song, since this was a mellow restaurant that sometimes played easy listening instrumental versions of pop songs like of "Low Rider" (War, 1975).

Don't Dream It's Over (Crowded House, 1986)
How Sweet It Is (Marvin Gaye, 1964)
My Love (Paul McCartney and Wings, 1973)
Time of the Season (The Zombies, 1968)
This Masquerade (George Benson, 1976)
Wild Night (John Mellencamp, 1994)
Baby I Need Your Lovin' (Johnny Rivers, 1967)

SOME POSSIBLES:

Cotton Candy (TDO)

SOME SONGS IT IS NOT:

Blue Moon Blue (Yukihiro Takahashi)
Dumb Like That (Vroom)
Smoke Bend (The Gourds)

----------

Those are enough songs for this thread. I'll make a similar thread with a few more later. Thanks in advance for any effort you put into identifying these.

Heh heh heh. I was walking up to a Target store tonight in a shopping mall and heard that guitar harmonics song that I've been trying to identify for 1 1/2 years, I yanked out a pen and paper in a rush, and wrote down some key lyrics, and identified it via Google when I got home. The song is:

Hard To Say (Dan Fogelberg, 1981, "The Innocent Age" album)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r1oEuyQ-cw

I'm blown away about finding it. It's not that great a song, objectively, but it has a lot of meaning to me. I even figured out how to play that main guitar riff yesterday, and was about to record it to post on the Internet for identification.
