So no verse, chorus, bridge? Something more progressive?

Dave, just google 'top ten songs from 70's' .. then do it from 80's .. then pick from them what your band is capable of, and what meets your criteria for lyrics/titles ... if you cant find something in the top 10, try top 20, and so on ... JMHO

You could try "Addicted To Love" (Robert Palmer). I don't think the lyrics would offend anyone, it's simple to learn, and it's one of those songs everyone knows and never fails to get the audience singing along. Just a suggestion, but everyone likes that song. Your audience might like to think they're immune to the stuff - oh yeah!

Do something by the Dixie Dregs! (A play off your name)

How about "Rosanna" by Toto?

There are many Steely Dan songs to choose from:
Peg
Josie
Pretzel Logic

Something by Bad Company
