Great song titles here. What I was looking for, and I did not explain myself well enough was a connection between the group name and the song title. As in the example The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup. Regardless, that for all the great titles.

Ok, got it! How about Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle?

Peter, what did you start here?! But I'll ignore your recent narrowization, and nominate
Bellamy Brothers: If I said you have a beautiful body would you hold that against me?
(And this is 70's too, so should not have been posted).

Just exactly, Charly.
