Some mystery: "Listen to What the man said" is pretty obviously '75. Sheesh.

Me too -- guessed it from the first 10 secs.  Always liked early-mid 70s Paul.

BOS for the Spinners.  I like the way the vocals switch from man to woman.

It's possibly the worst punctuated song title ever. "They Just Can't Stop It" The (Games People Play).

Other than that it's not a bad song.

Wow, I cannot believe she's playing "How Many Friends" from Who by Numbers.  Totally awesome!  I love that album.

It would have parsed a lot better if they'd titled it the way you did.

BOS1 The 'Ooo, How Many Friends. Deep cut from By Numbers?
