I heard a terrible song the other day and would like to know who did it so I can burn their albums if I have any of them.  
Not much I remember about it, thankfully, but here is what I do recall

Lead singer holds the word DAY over and over again for an annoying length of time…backing vocals during the longest days repeat a phrase over and over that contains the word Love.

It was on an oldies station.  
My guess is that it coulda been motown and from the 70’s,but not sure at all.  
Thats all I got.
