Persistent earworm alert CCCXXIX

Although it was a big hit in 1977, I'm surprised it didn't top the charts.  Since importing some Boz Scaggs songs from my CDs into iTunes this morning, "Lido Shuffle" hasn't left my mind.  

As with "Lowdown," there's an instant coolness factor from the first note.  Even if you have no clue about what's happening in the narrative, the infectious rhythm and strong "One for the roa-oa-oa-oa-d!" hook demand attention--and might make you drive a little faster.
