Persistent earworm alert CCXXXIII

Although it was a fairly big hit in 1974, I'd only ever heard the song on the radio once.  It was about 20 years ago on KDHX, and that one play was enough to keep the song in my mind for weeks afterward.  Thus, I was caught off guard to hear it in a gas station recently.  As I glanced around the shop, I thought, "Looking at the generally young age range of everyone here, I'll bet I'm the only one who knows this song and has it in his music library.  It's a shame younger generations don't know this power pop hook, won't anticipate its key change, and probably won't get it stuck in their minds, as I have."

It's possible that earlier this week, I heard "Who Do You Think You Are?" by Bo Donaldson And The Heywoods for the last time in a public place.
