I have one suggestion that would make it easier for readers to follow along: Include the submitter's post and song link for each one of your response posts (you already did this just once or twice).

That way the reader will be able to listen to the track while reading your response. This is such a poplular thread and tracking down the submitter's post can be a lengthy process - especially when their user name and real name aren't the same! Anyway, here goes my shot...

LYRICS - "Guitar Girl"

V1 - Wanna tell you a story 'bout a long time ago, me and Suzy (she's a friend of mine, she's a good friend don't you know):
I bought a guitar and I learned some chords; I played those chords 'bout ev'ry night, and then I learned some more. She's my girl, she's my girl.

V2 - I wanted the big time, out in Hollywood; I wanted to be a rock and roll star, like I always dreamed I could.
I packed my bags up and I grabbed my gear, I grabbed my Suzy and then I said "we're gettin' out of here". She's my girl, she's my girl.

Bridge - She's my girl, she's my little baby.
She don't say no and she don't say maybe.
She's my guitar, she's my little girl yea-a-a-aaaah!

V3 - We hit the big time, me and my guitar girl; playing here and a playing there, and playing all o'er the world.
We're like a freight train, rolling down the tracks; chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugging along, we ain't never turning back. She's my girl, she's my girl, she's my girl..

Dear Rick,

Thanks for the submission, "Guitar Girl"
I like Rock n Roll so I appreciated this song.
Only sorry to say it's not something we could use. The first obstacle would be just the songs approach feels dated. Even rock bands don't really do this kind of R&R these days. And if they did or were close musically the lyrical subject matter doesn't seem that it would be a good fit today.
Although I have seen some bands on TV and have been shocked. So!
Kinda reminded me of T Rex Bang A Gong and Crocodile Rock.

I just think it needed to be more substantial if even in a fun way think "Stacey's Mom" by Fountains Of Wayne or some other playful modern pop rock songs.

But despite all that I can't find a single band ANYWHERE that doesn't do there own songs, so even if I could use "Guitar Girl I couldn't. This would be a band song totally.

Fun song and good work
Thanks
