    I'll have to think about the rest.

    Hint: The word 'sugar bear' is actually in the song. I laughed when I figured out I was not 'miss-hearing' it.

    I've heard that "Surgar Bear" line in there too. So now that you mentioned that I was pretty sure that was it.

    ================================================

    The year of this song was 1978 which was the year of the countdown today on a local radio station. The song wasn't in today's countdown but the list is a good one.

    Thursday 7/22 1978
    #10 Pablo Cruise - Love Will Find A Way
    #9 Commodores - Three Times A Lady
    #8 ABBA - Take A Chance On Me
    #7 O'Jay's - Use Ta Be My Girl
    #6 Donna Summer - Last Dance
    #5 Franki Valli - Grease
    #4 Bob Seger - Still The Same
    #3 Rolling Stones - Miss You
    #2 Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
    #1 Andy Gibb - Shadow Dancing

    Good stuff eh?

    Player - Baby Come Back

    Frank Zappa --?????

    Let me think about this and correct me if I'm wrong on the artist.

    I have three guesses for the song:

    Camarillo Brillo
    In The Slime
    Whipping Post

    or is it Dweezil?

    I'm not a Zappa kind of guy but Wikipedia says his biggest selling single of all time was Valley Girl. That one even I remember.
