@flexghost LZ, Dancing Days, from Houses of the Holy, possibly their peak.
You told your mother I'd get you home,
But you didn't say that I got no car.
I saw a lion, he was standin' alone,
With a tadpole in a jar. https://youtu.be/JpNy6z5sz1M?feature=shared

Here's "Summer Dive", which Japanese girl group Faky released just under a month ago. https://youtu.be/3eFldGF9Rgc?si=hmpU_-k-7y2CrS7n
I called them a "Japanese" rather than a "jpop" group because their sound is much more international than jpop.
I've finished my IPA, by the way, and will soon be moving on to a mug of tea.

"Wild Summer Nights" from the film Eddie and the Cruisers - and Southern Comfort.
(Why, yes, it actually is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band that wrote and performed all the songs on that soundtrack, but Michael Pare can lip synch his ass off.) https://youtu.be/lza2pwHwZaQ?si=HCPvnCMsnLqEBLgM
Every hallway's painted white as the light
That will guide you to your help
Making friends with strangers inside my mind
'Cause they seem to know me well
Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
"No tomorrow"
When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies
I'm not getting out, no, I'm not getting out alive

From "The Hissing of Summer Lawns", 1975, Joni Mitchell:
He bought her a diamond for her throat
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
She could see the valley barbecues
From her window sill
See the blue pools in the squinting sun
Hear the hissing of summer lawns...
Favorite song tribute is "Edith and the Kingpin" sung by Tina Turner with Herbie Hancock, 2007.
