Yes, Who. Yes, The Who sang the song Gettin' in Tune.  Yes, that is this song. But not by Yes.
I think the yea's outweigh the nay's and now it's your turn Raf. Great tune by the way.  "Who's Next" does not have "a so so song" on the album.  It's always been one of my favorite albums. 1971 I think, a lot of incredible iconic artists with a lot of iconic albums.

Awesome album! The back story of Who's Next is interesting also. Townsend's "Lifehouse" project.
This is NOT easy, but it definitely got airplay, just not recently. (I got TIRED of hearing it, once.) Here's much of the lyrics to make it less difficult.
Ok, given the inability to post more lyrics without giving away the title, I'm posting a different song from the same artist. (Besides, I like the previous song, but Wordpup likes this one better.)

You know they're counting, but you don't know WHAT they're counting? Is this a joke? I know you know you're reading a bunch of things, what things are they? (I know you know what things they are, don't be obtuse.)
So, we all know they counted in German, French, Italian and Japanese.  Can anyone other than Raf actually tell me what it was they were counting? Or what you're saying if you're counting out loud? I'd swear George is working hard to avoid saying the one word that will end this round.
You're all making this MUCH harder than it has to be.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

My roommate in college tried to work up a "Who's on First" parody with 60s/70s bands.
"Guess Who's playing tonight."
"Who"
"No, Guess Who."
"The Band"?
"Yes."
"Yes is playing tonight?"
"No. GUESS WHO."
etc.

With a little perseverance you can get things done
Without the blind adherence that has conquered some
And nobody wants to know you now
And nobody wants to show you how

Just a little more time is all we're asking for.
Just a little more time can open closing doors.
Just a little uncertainty can weigh you down.
And nobody wants to know you now.
And nobody wants to show you how.

Hint: The second hit of an 80s star wrongly considered a one-hit wonder.

It was about time my subconscious gave up that answer.  Ok, the next song. I'm probably going to go with something Wordpup likes, let's see....

"Rendezvous on Champs-Élysées.
Leave Paris in the morning on TEE."
Â
"In Vienna we sit in a late-night café.
Straight connection, TEE."
Â
"From station to station back to Düsseldorf City
Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie."

I will take EITHER the title OR the artist-Â or both if you're feeling really confident.

So, George, are there any observations you can make about the current song, so far?

Well, it's counting in German, French, and Italian. But I have no idea what the song is.

Definitely a case of the music being more familiar than the lyrics.
I HATED this song.
And haven't thought of it in decades. So thank you, from the bottom of my spleen, for reminding me.
Â
Yeah, cheated and disqualified, gladly, because I wouldn't remember this title or artist to save my life.
