An easy M3S

[Lightnin' Rod]

almost forgot this was unanswered...

Warwick Davis was the titular character in Willow, and all four songs mention willows in the lyrics.

Davis is best known these days as Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter series, but he was also the titular character in all four (egregiously bad) Leprechaun movies.  The first of which I saw in Taiwan in 1993, and it featured the film debut of one Jennifer Aniston.

Hell, I can't even figure out your hints! 

Loves me one Jennifer Aniston though.

That hint was deliberately more obscure than the question itself.  But hey, if you knew it, it would've been a giveaway.  (and I woulda been hella impressed!)  And as you noticed, it opened the door for more interesting trivia.

I put this one up in Monday's set (which contained the Cars song), but no one tried it.  I think it's a pretty good one actually.


Cars - Drive
Beatles (Yay!) - Something
Heart - These Dreams

Cars - Drive

Heart - These Dreams

The only thing I can come up with is that they all are structured as two long lines, then two short lines, then one more long line.

I'm cheating (looking up lyrics) but I can't come up w anything!  is it in the lyrics?

Each was a hit sung by someone other than the group's usual lead singer?

I thought I had it:

Cars - Drive - album is Heartbeart City
Heart - These Dreams album is Heart

... but Beatles (Yay!) - Something is from Abbey Road, not Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.

Good observation, but I think the Cars' early singles were a roughly even split between Orr and Ocasek.

Yes, not just a hit, but arguably their biggest - for the Cars it was their highest charter, for Heart it was their first #1, and for the Beatles it has been their most covered.  Both Sinatra & Elvis covered it!

If I remember correctly the same applies to .38 Special, too, for most of their hits. Donnie Van Zant was nominally their lead singer, but most if not all of their hits were sung by Don Barnes, one of their guitarists.

OMG - you are such a nerd! Even though now I can easily conjure up each of the three first verses, I would have never thought of that. So the "doo-doodle-do-do-dooo" counts as a long line?

Just realized that you could add Kiss's "Beth" to this list.  I can't think of any others offhand, unless Squeeze (Paul Carrack on "Tempted" guest vox) counts.
