Riddle #5: this song about an unnamed thing hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100

 

[Ericj32]

Both songs were written by Jim Steinman.

Yeah even the woman singing in the Meat Loaf video seemed kind of like a stand-in for Bonnie Tyler.

 

[Ericj32]

Fits the Level 3 clue but is not the song.

 

[Colonel_Angus]

I love Aerosmith but this isn't it. You're in the right year though!!

EDIT: This also fits the LEVEL 3 clue pretty well.

Pianos?

 

[Ericj32]

Ironically, this song is about sex, but never uses the word "sex" but does, however drop a [censored] f-bomb, haha.

I am busy making a list of albums with pianos and vocal harmonies.

So Far...

The Head & The Heart - Head In The Heart (unfortunately they don't have any copies for sale currently at the Sub Pop Megamart)

New Pornographers - Mass Romantic (Matador still has copies available)

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House (Warp still has copies in stock)
