Summer Of '69 - Bryan Adams
No Milk Today - Herman's Hermits

Lysette Anthony (hubbahubba!) was in 80's sitcom Three Up Two Down, whilst NMT includes the line "just two up two down". Would've been better if the lyric was "three up...", but hey-ho.

The Bitterest Pill - The Jam

New England - Kirsty McColl

"NE", written by Billy Bragg with "I put you on a pedestal, they put you on The Pill" which became "Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill" by Kirsty - so

whereas the Jam song has Mr Weller in his usual cheerful form -

"For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill!"

both songs are somewhat about unrequited/dead love too.
