Odia Coates - The Woman's Song (1975) Paul Anka wrote this. Fantastic.
Odia Coates - You Come and You Go (1975) Again, a good song by Paul Anka. If a little derivative of "Love Hangover". But which came first?
Paul Anka - Life Song (1979) From the album "Headlines", which I know you own.
Paul Anka - My Best Friend's Wife (1977)
Paul Anka - A Woman is a Sentimental Thing (1967) The Beatles were putting out "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" around this time.
The Who - Relay (1972)
The Who - Waspman (1972) From Wikipedia:
"Waspman" originates from an incident in the late 1960s during one of The Who's many plane flights while touring.
During some white-knuckle turbulence, Moon and a groupie escaped to the bathroom. Shortly after, Moon burst forth with the groupie's bra wrapped over his head and announced, "I'll save you! I'm Wasp Man!" In addition to writing this song, Keith Moon also bought a wasp costume and wore it whenever the mood struck him.
[In this way, we're all just like rock stars.]
The Who - Water (1971)
The Vapors - Sunstroke (1980)
The Vapors - Prisoners (1979) Their first single went nowhere. But the second, aided by MTV's need for programming, went Top 40 in the US.
