Remember, there's two songs in there, two bars each, different timbres delineating them.
Remember, both are "one hit wonders"
The two songs were hits between 4-5 years apart.
Remember the big clue that the last word of the first song is the first word of the second song.
NEW CLUE: Both song titles are things girls said to their guys.
In song one, it's a question the wife asks her husband, and those seven notes COMPRISE THE FIVE WORD TITLE, because the title words are the first words sung. The lyric POV is first person, the song is sung by a woman.
Song two's FIVE WORD song title occurs well into the song (in the chorus) and is an admonishment, a warning from the girl to her guy. The lyric POV is third person, the song is sung by a man. The actual (eleven note) opening verse line (which is the clue given here) descibes a festive event.
Refer to the above "quote" for all the prior clues...
Two songs, 2 bars each...
New clues:
The first song (which, again, is sung by a woman) was a one hit wonder for this particular BAND that had a member in it that would 4-5 years later go solo and become a (USA Billboard Hot 100) "one hit wonder" themselves, under his/her own name, with a song originally written by Jacques Brel.
The second song was a top ten hit in the UK, too, but by a different band! A band that was a "two hit wonder" in the UK, and a "one hit wonder" themselves, in the USA. Their one USA hit mentions ''Al Capone'' by name. Figure out who THAT band is, and then you'll know the TITLE of their OTHER UK hit, which is the SAME SONG as the second song here, which was the ONLY hit by the band that made it a hit in the USA, who simply beat the UK band to the punch, in terms of the USA release.
LAST CLUE: The last word of the first song title is the SAME WORD as the first word of the second song title. THAT WORD that both songs share in common IS MORE THAN 4 LETTERS.
The BEST answer is to name both songs and both Billboard Hot 100 "one-hit wonder" recording artists.
