Some nascent power pop from Eric Carmen and company. This promo single features a contest for the Raspberries' Rollswagen. All you have to do is return the entry blank explaining which one of the Raspberries is the "foxiest" and why: Eric Carmen, Wally Bryson, Dave Smalley, or Jim Bonfanti. The lucky winner will be the happy owner of the Raspberries' Rollswagen (a VW bug with a Rolls Royce front end) with these "far-out" features:
-Special Raspberry-Pearl paint and green vinyl top, personally designed by George Barris for the Raspberries.
-Foxy fur upholstery! Created by California's leading auto interior designer Harold Mitchell.

As true today as it was then. You may be familiar with versions by Canned Heat, Bryan Ferry and as we heard a few episodes, Dwight Yoakam. Fine stuff. An improved variation on his original 1962 "Let's Stick Together".

Music behind the DJ: "Irena's Theme" by Giorgio Moroder.
