Single by Canadian band Bachman-Turner Overdrive written by Randy Bachman was the lead single from the album Four Wheel Drive (May 1975), and it also reached number #1 on the Canadian singles charts. The song is the band's second single to make it to the top of the charts, but the song (and single hit) "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" from Not Fragile (Sep. 1974) remains the band's best-charting song, which also topped the charts in Germany, South Africa, New Zealand, and in the US.
I listened to this over and over again back when I was 10-14 years old and discovered the single in my brother's leftovers. It took me some time to realise the name of the band wasn't Batman-Turner Overdrive.
