    Additional hint. The Who has covered it as well. And although the single was credited to The Guess Who? (with the question mark) it was actually Chad Allan & The Expressions that recorded it. Chad Allan left the band and Burton Cummings joined and the name of the band was changed to The Guess Who.

    I believe my "research" is correct, but admit I am not that familiar with the song :/

    A bit of trivia. Chad Allan left The Guess Who just before they hit it big. He later joined a band called Brave Belt with Randy Bachman, ex-guitarist with The Guess Who. They released a couple of albums. (look for a song called Dunrobin's Gone) Chad Allan left Brave Belt, which morphed into Bachman Turner Overdrive, who also went on to have great success.

    This one's kinda obscure (album track) so I'm probably wrong but...

    ELO/ Laredo Tornado ?

    The Association -- Windy

    I thought it looked like maybe you wanted another band that also did Windy. I know Barry Manilow recorded a version of it with The Association a few years ago.

    It's really good! They do a medley of "Downtown" and "Windy" and then they sort of blend them together like singing a song in rounds. Here's a link to Youtube.

    That's a good CD too. He has another one: The Greatest Love Songs of the Seventies. As I remember it was the number on album in the US about 10 years ago when it was released.

    Heard this one on the way home from work.

    What a chemist might use to mix chemicals + what a proud new dad might say about his new baby girl = [band/song]

    I can come up with better clues if needed, but give it a shot.

    I think my daughter is dating in secret. Of course she doesn't want to talk about it with her dad.

    This band was in Xanadu (not ELO). Huge clue if you've seen it. I'm easily entertained and thought it was a good movie. :-)

    The Association! *smacks forehead*
    I was stuck on "acronym" so I figured the band name had to be an acronym...

    Throw out an answer guys. Someone might say the same thing about their new car.

    When I was in college the girls used to lay out on the terrace outside the dorm. One of the guys played this song out the window for his girlfriend. She probably dropped him. She was sorority bound and I don't think he was.
