Correction. The Joker was 1973. Come and Get Your Love was 1974. Wish I could go back and edit that. WHEW!

Listen to Lovey Dovey, “I’m HIGH as the CEILing when you are with me and the KISS that I’m STEALing, has got me reeling, cause I’m SAYing that I LOVE you, no one above you … Sound familiar to any intro guitar and bass line structures you've heard before?

BTW. The Clyde McPhatter version of LOVEY DOVEY can be found at

CHECK THIS OUT! Its the BUNNY SIGLER's (You're So Fine) version of "LOVEY DOVEY" around the 40 second mark. "YOU'RE SO FINE and YOU'RE MINE" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRKd4MEtK9g As compared to Redbone's "COME AND GET YOUR LOVE" "Fine and You're Mine and You Look So Divine"

Give a listen to Clyde McPhatter's version of Lovey Dovey from the 0:57-1:07 mark and notice the comparison to the intro guitar and then bass/ lyrical line for entire song "Come and Get Your Love".

You can find a "Come and Get Your Love" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7eloXr2iak

Keep in mind that the Clovers, Clyde McPhatter and Bunny Sigler renditions of Lovey Dovey were recorded in the 50's and Bunny Sigler's version in 1967. See http://www.45cat.com/record/6000

The lyrics to Come and Get Your Love compared to Lovey Dovey sound like "question and response" in reverse. "What's the matter with you?" "I'm high as the ceiling" etc.

THE JOKER was number one in the last months of 1974 till COME AND GET YOUR LOVE early the next year 1975 and had common EMI "studio connections".
