(I think she drew/painted the cover of the CSN&Y album that has their version of the song, as well.)
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
(Note: More Than One "Classic" Song exists with this title. I can think of two off the top of my head, and I will accept either one.)

Okay, hint:
Five Words in the title.
The earlier song containing the title opens with the following lines:
Attention, all people, permit us all to enjoy ourselves
Second party (pl.) gets a single go-round on the mortal plane. After that it's all finished.
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
Age is of no consequence. I insist: permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill...
The other song that's well-known and has the same title begins as follows:
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
Permit such moments to impact the second party as though said party were the ball in a game of racquetball
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
Permit such moments to induce comical behavior in the second party...

Cleome is close. Set is incorrect.
Actually cleome has it. I thought that the title was Fame (I'm gonna live forever) and when I first looked it up found the song named "I'm Gonna Live Forever". Now upon checking again, I see the song titled "Fame".
If I had "Fame" or "Fame (I'm gonna live forever)" as the title, my alternative title would have been:
Public estimation or popular acclaim

Okay then. Here's another:
Keep a tight grip upon an object generally perceived as straight and narrow. [Could be a rope, for example.]

First lyric:
The narrator denies the importance of the manner the second party employs when gripping the narrator
Likewise the importance of the manner the second party employs while expressing feelings of empathy
The narrator denies the importance of the manner the second party employs while interacting with the narrator's closest associates
Likewise the importance of the manner the second party employs while remaining present, even when events have concluded
The narrator denies the importance of the manner the second party employs when presenting herself/himself physically
Much less what actions the second party verbally notes s/he plans on pursuing at some future date

Additional hints. Here's the chorus:
Keep a tight grip upon an object generally perceived as straight and narrow.
Affection doesn't stick to a set schedule.
(Repeat twice.)
By the way, the title is three words long.

Hold the Line by Toto? (I haven't read the hints yet, so I could be way off. I just wanted to try based off of the first post.)

The listener is admonished to regard with no apprehension the symbolic embodiment of the permanant cessation of vital functions.

A fine piece of material, of the darkest color and of significant measurement from end to end, that is used to cover the face.

Any guesses? This shouldn't be too hard. I'm assuming people are bored with the game instead of stumped. If anyone is trying and needs a clue let me know.

Still interested, Jerry, but haven't a clue. Neither do the guys in my art/writing group with whom I just shared your puzzle.

Okay, then.
Spectral formation, contained by s/he whom the narrator addresses.

Title is four words long
First set of lyrics:
One person bearing XY chromosomes, and who wears the narrator's footwear as his own, moves through an intersection without heeding proper traffic procedures
Also, printed media is not to be trusted this evening
However, current events descend upon s/he whom the narrator addresses
Seraphs descend as if they were the proverbial "cats and dogs"
Also affection can be found in the total distance between here and Paradise
Chorus:
Contained by the person addressed, exists the measure of a mobile duration
Also, that duration (using a feminine pronoun) fails to vanish
Spectral formation, contained by s/he whom the narrator addresses
Also, that duration (in the feminine tense) fails to vanish...

Second set of lyrics:
Competition ensues (as in an athletic or vehicular endeavor), the narrator expresses feelings of kinship with the addressed party
Also, the narrator hears his/her motor cease operation
The narrator's emotional state is that of desiring the addressed party's company, desiring an escape (perhaps by foot)
Celestial bodies descend like the proverbial "cats and dogs"
Also, affection isn't transferable for free [Or, colloquially: affection exists for the taking, but nobody seems to want it]
[repeat chorus]
Forget departure, That defies logic Considering the totality of mega-powered males in the addressed party's possession Only subtract/remove measurements as seen on a clock Also affection can be found in the total distance between here and Paradise
[repeat chorus]

Additional hint:
Popular song in the 1980s, though not in the American Top 40.
