I've heard one lately, other than "Rip It Up", but I still haven't remembered what the song was.

5. Here's one...

I met her at a dance down at the union hall
She was standing with her brothers back up against the wall
Sometimes we'd go walking down the union tracks
One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back
