UPDATE: I went through and listened to snippets of all the songs on the list I didn’t know. None of them were the song in question. I’m beginning to think that it’s a song I actually do hear and know well, but I’m just not making the connection with the “make it sweet more” thing.

Maybe later I’ll go through the list and listen to the songs I don’t recognize on Youtube one by one.

This was from the 70s, and is probably played a lot, so I doubt this is the song, but it’s not [My Sweet Lord](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMgCpb1nli4) by George Harrison is it?
