It’s from the early to mid 90’s. It has the line:
> [@](#):
>
> Rod Stewart’s hair and Keith Richard’s swagger’
I know this song, I know who sings it, but for the life of me it gets stuck between my brain and my mouth. It’s called “What Girls Want” or “Girls Want” and it’s by… crap. The only thing that comes out is “Material Issue” but it isn’t them (though they had a hit with “Valerie Loves Me” around the same time.)
I did a Google search on the lyric and came up with some fan site about “Roswell”, bah.
If I don’t remember who sang this I’ll be up all night.
Please help me get to sleep.

thanks, **Zumba** , I guess I was right. However, I can’t seem to find a copy of _Destination Universe_ on any website (cdnow, amazon, barnesandnoble, etc.)
I’ll keep checking.
