You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth - The Killers
Heaven Can Wait - Rufus Wainwright
All Revved Up With No Place To Go - Katy Perry
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad - Take That
Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Maroon 5 feat. Shania Twain
For Crying Out Loud - Amanda Jenssen

> For Crying Out Loud - Elton John
> The kind of OTT piano ballad that one would expect to
