Checking in.
The only one I knew was Baker Street and Elvis. Don't have a clue about the others.

Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead
1970s

Been on this path of life for so long
Feel I've walked a thousand miles
Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love
1990s

No one has got this yet:

Cause I'm trying to explain
Something's wrong,
You just don't sound the same.

@xsquared - kiss the rain. Not a clue who sang it though

@CoffeeBeansGalore - thanks

I’m here! I would have only guessed Baker Street and Psycho Killer so far...

I’d completely forgotten 5705!

How about an easy 80s one:

Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care.

All over the nation there's a brand new craze
You see it going on where the music plays
It's funky and it's punky and it's impolite
You can do it by day but it's better at night

1990s (I apologise now 😁)
