    That's it.

    The Stones used to play that and similar, (Bo Diddley stuff too) in their early days. They introduced those and other great US stars to a young UK audience.

    After poison ivy I'd think of calamine lotion, but that isn't working for the clue.

    A whiskey + a whiskey + a chaser / bathroom + away from the wind + rugby position = song / artist

    I need to ask a question. How many people remember Last Game Of The Season (Blind Man In The Beachers) by David Geddes?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Limkwef_WMU

    I asked people at work in our Cedar Rapids and Philadelphia office and no one but me remembers it.

    I'll yield the floor to @peppermintpudgy since she came up with the song title and I was just riding on her coat tails :D

    Oh boy! Thank you, @Mustang_Susie!

    Song title/ lyric
    (Two different artists but same words-
    I'll leave it at that for now.

    Seriously, @Mustang_Susie :grey_question::fearful:


    this is an utter stab in the dark (where the stab is with a safety pin, and the dark is the innermost reaches of a blackhole while blindfolded)..but.

    LADY : Kenny Rogers / Commodores ?

    (RT " I brake for Venn")

    Kind of the right idea.
    The artist who used it as a lyric did not use it for their song title.
    Both songs were recorded within 3 years of each other, think late '60s/ early 70's.

    More hints?
    Infamous 1969 serial killer referenced this song (by song title group) as part of the "philosophy" he taught his followers- "The Family".

    Well, hey there RoadDog!

    You are correct.
    The Beatles Helter Skelter and
    Don MClean American Pie
    "Helter skelter in the summer swelter"

    Give us our next problem @TheRoadDog :)

    Not sure if RoadDog will rejoin us as he is not a regular on this thread.
    So I will open the floor to anyone who has a problem for us :)
