At a bar. Song finishes before I can get much info. Next song is Bon Jovi to give context/ era. Song goes along lines of “Billy says he” ….tho could he Johnny, Eddie, gives 80s vibes. Fast paced at that bit. Something about a small town. Male singer. Mid voice. Not low. Have tried Shazam & Google. Help me pls

Living On A Prayer?

Starts: Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough

Not Billy or Johnny I know 😂

It's so weird because this happened to me with this exact song a few mo the ago! Me and my husband were searching for ages, and I feel like I knew instantly when you posted it. It's so catchy isn't it Blush

I obviously spend too much time on TikTok as I’ve heard this lots on there 😳

Yes & I knew the “tonight” but which would have helped, but it stopped playing so fast! Thank you - classic! Adding to my playlist!!! Thank you for your amazing response!

@PoseyFlump it's so random but I heard this song a few months ago same as op and couldn't remember enough to Google it and spend forever trying to figure it out, so I feel like I knew instantly 😂

I was going to suggest this but I see it's been solved

Are you absolutely sure it isn't living on a prayer?

Ignore. Comments was too late.
