obscure lyric for the week of Apr.20/09

Hello out there we're on the air it's not hockey time at all. It's a rainy Monday morning and it's cold again too. It still is early spring we might still have snow. I trust you had a wonderful weekend. I rested and travelled to visit family to introduce some of them to the wonderful world of itunes and so on.

Lately my life currently is a mass of changes. One of the biggest is in my work world. I have joked for some time that I won't "drink the koolaid" and I won't do it no matter the demands. I have another short week this week, I am taking Friday off to take my beloved away to a beautiful B and b in NOTL called Applewood Hollow for a weekend of rest and relaxation. We are going away to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary and to get away from all the stuff that we've been trying to manage over the past while.

I heard this song on the radio this weekend and I think the subtitle says a lot about where I am right now. I think it is also a comment on how I see where others may try to place me in their world and the title is my response to them. I realize that this a a little cryptic, but hey, it's my blog.

The song was released in 1977 on a album that went platinum 3 X's. The band was huge in the '70's and they sold loads and loads of albums. These guys were never up a river without a paddle. One sources states that the name of the band was chosen because it was the one that no one hated. It's interesting that not hating or detesting something makes it ok, kinda makes you want to go hmmmm, doesn't it?

Here are some of the lyrics:

you're the one they can't beat and you know it
come on let's see what you've got

I would like to know the following:

The name of the song (including sub title):
the name of the original album it was released on:
The name of the band:
the writer of the song:

have a great week, the sunshine is coming along with warmer weather. patience is a virtue, my mother always said. I'm not that virtuous, I just want this early spring stuff to be gone. I will try to get the big reveal out on Thursday.
