Results: "I'm On Fire" Some Times Over (In Tribute To Dwight Twilley)

In 1975, recently deceased (October 2023) Oklahoma power pop singer/songwriter/guitarist Dwight Twilley had the first of his too few, to my reckoning, U.S. top 40 hits--as credited to the Dwight Twilley Band--with "I'm On Fire." Do you recall this song and/or Twilley as a band-leading or solo artist &/or collaborator with others, perhaps especially those with power pop leanings such as such as Tom Petty?

Later in 1975, English studio-based disco group 5,000 Volts (originally named Airbus) had an international hit, including the US with another "I'm On Fire" wholly unrelated to Twilley's tune of the same title. From 5,000 Volts came the later, largely disco-centric solo career of the act's singer, Tina Charles. Can you think of any other titles shared by entirely different songs that became hits, perhaps especially in the course of a 120mont period?

Nearly a decade later, Bruce Springsteen released his "I'm On Fire" as the fourth, among seven, single from his blockbuster album from the precious year, Born In The U.S.A. Though I can appreciate the recording's stark. haunting instrumental texture, the lyrics never sat well with me, especially as read apart from the music. They intimate rape, or something else non-consensual, to me. To you, too?

Backtracking 11 years from Springsteen's song, poppy Canadian rocker Andy Kim was even more inflammatory than any of the previously mentioned songs as he sang "Fire Baby, I'm On Fire." It was the follow-up to his US (and elsewhere?)#1 single from earlier in 1974, "Rock Me Gently." Do you think, if only by the title, Kim may have influenced Twilley to write his "I'm On Fire"?

And, for the usual question with which I end surveys like this: which of the above songs do you like best?
