How about 'Love Will Keep Us Together' by Neil Sedaka (credited in the tag line by Captain and Teneille)?
Nearly anything by Barry Manilow?
I have to differ with 'Movin' Out' though. It captures some really distinctive North Joisey-isms, especially if you've every lived or worked in Bergen (Boigen) and Hudson Counties, where you'll find Hackensack-ack-ack-ack. It addresses very well the BS materialism which exists amongst terrible, crowded-together aluminum-sided bi-level shoeboxes lining the Parkway. There, guys really did take a second job tending bar in order to trade in their Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac. And if you recall just what awful superficial pieces of junk Caddies were in the late 70's, the song really takes on new meaning.
