Title: Trying to find a song
Post by: Jocassee on November 02, 2009, 09:30:02 AM: I don't usually do this. I can usually find songs I've heard with just a scrap of the lyrics and Google. But this one has foiled me.

Heard it on a classic rock station, its a "highway" song, and has an allusion to "Little Runaway" in it, I think it was something about Little Runaway being on the radio, but I have googled to that effect and come up dry.

If you don't help I will go insane. Kthxbai.

Should have clarified, it is not Little Runaway but it did allude to it, therefore must be newer than.

ETA: Wikipedia has this on the song:

This song is referenced in Tom Petty's song Running Down a Dream "Me and Del were singin' little runaway." It was also reference in the Barenaked Ladies song When you Dream from the album Stunt with "Do you hear Del Shannon's Runaway playing on transistor radio waves?"
One of those, maybe?
