For not particular reason, I started thinking of songs that mention dimes. Including:
- “My Hometown” by Bruce Springsteen
I was eight years old, running with a dime in my hand…. - “Downtown Train” by Rod Stewart
I’m shining like a new dime…. - “Operator” by Jim Croce
You can keep the dime. - “Raspberry Beret” by Prince
I was working part time at the five and dime…
Okay, that’s not a dozen, but I do have comments enabled here. You help me round out the list, okay?
Brother can you spare a dime?
Jukebox – Don’t put another dime in the jukebox I don’t wanna hear that song no more
There. That brings you up to six.
Jewel, “Down So Long”
And a blind man on the corner
Said, it’s simple,
Like flipping a coin
Don’t matter what side it lands on
If it’s someone else’s dime
Do you get the sense my blog is not a “community” and instead is a large contingent of Google users looking to see Samus Aran naked?
“The Wall Street Shuffle” by 10cc
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime…
“I love Rock & Roll” by Joan Jett
So put another dime in the Juke Box Baby!
Ani DiFranco – Outta Me, Onto You

Gene Watson – Paper Rosie

But they only cost a dime “

Please, Mister, Please – Olivia Newton John
If I had a dime for every time I held you
Though you’re far away, you’ve been so close to me
I could swear I’d be the richest girl in Nashville
Maybe even in the state of Tennessee

Much better, friends. Thanks.
How about The Drifters: “On Broadway”?
But how’re ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won’t even shine your shoes
It’s a twofer.
“Dime” by Cake
I’m a dime
I’m fine
And I shine
I’m freshly minted
