‘In the Dark’ by Billy Squier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RwVJVjjNA4

[Fiji Hill]

This sounds like a suicide song.

Black Moonlight--Bing Crosby (1933)

[John S Mosby]

Written by that commie Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger’s pal.

Inarticulate lyric mis sung often: “Wrapped up like a Deuce, another runner in the night”.

“Deuce” being a euphemism for a “Deuce and a Quarter” or... a Buick Electra 225 (225 inches long with a 401 cu. inch “nailhead” V8 motor.

[Sir_Humphrey]

Dark Star - Greatful Dead

Blinded by the light- the Boss ( Bruce Springsteen)

[Michael.SF.]

Added note:

I think I have mentioned this before, but just in case:

Paul Simon wrote this song, reflecting back on when he first was learning to play the guitar. Because of the better acoustics, he would sit, alone, in the dark, in his empty bathtub and play his guitar. Hence:

Hello Darkness my old friend

[bagster]

Make Me Feel Crazy Make Me Feel So Mean

~ Eddie and the Cruisers

[Fiji Hill]

When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain--Kate Smith (1931)
