Saturday Night Classics – No Sugar Tonight
I turned 54 yesterday, so I’ve decided to pick a rock song that was a hit during the week I was born. Looking at Cash Box that would be Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. Although that one’s okay, I looked elsewhere. Per Billboard the top song that week was American Woman/No Sugar Tonight (an atypical, dual listing) by The Guess Who. Well, I’ve heard American Woman about a billion times, so No Sugar Tonight it is!
If you’re in the mood for the story behind the song, Professor of Rock has an interview with Randy Bachman who dishes on its origin.

Fun song. I look forward to playing the interview while tread-milling.
