Actually "Mellow Yellow" and "Electric Boogie (Electric Slide)" are songs about women's erotic toys.

Oh Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison

The song that still gets the retirement crowd dancing.

From the Broadway production "Damn Yankees", originally sung by  Gwen Verdon on stage. Perhaps the most famous recording:

"Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets)" - Sarah Vaughan

Cruel To Be Kind - Nick Lowe

Another one-hit-wonder song - although Nick did very well in his home UK.

One of my all-time favourite song Notes!

Nick Lowe had a few more solo 'hits' over here and also wrote a lot of successful songs for other 'pub rock' and new wave artists.

He's probably best known in The UK however as a producer, and has credits on albums by acts as diverse as Elvis Costello and Johnny Cash.

Unfortunately, Nick Lowe isn't well known in the USA. Quite a few brilliant UK artists get very little exposure here. One I like a lot is Georgie Fame. I think he had one or two releases in the US, but the recordings I've managed to find have all been very good.

On with the game. Last entry was from the Rolling Stones, so I give you,

 

"Rocks In My Bed" - Duke Ellington
