Answer 2

There's a song by Demi Lavato called Catch Me there's a simile in there when she compares how she feels to how children feel when they see clowns, the songs a bit weird but I love it The lyrics with the simile are below

See, this heart
Won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown

Answer 3

How about Hank Williams' song Howlin' at the Moon?

Well, Sug, I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad

And then I even went and lost what little sense I had.

Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon.

You got me chasin' Rabbits, pullin' out my hair and Howlin' at The Moon.

In line 3 "crazy as a loon" is a simile - compares two things using 'like' or 'as'.

In line 4 I think the notion of 'howlin' at the moon' qualifies as a metaphor because it compares the poet's mental state to that of a dog madly howling at the moon!
