I feel a little idiotic asking this, because I keep thinking I should know it.

The station I listen to has played a song several times lately that I recognize but I keep thinking I should know who does it & what the name of it is.

It’s an instrumental rock piece, very heavy on the guitar, but every so often a guy’s voice yodels. There’s also synthesizer. It’s not Edgar Winter’s _Frankenstein_, but it could be something else Edgar Winter, I suppose. It’s got a really good underlying groove to it.

Help? Anyone?

“Hocus Pocus” by Focus sounds like what you’re looking for.
