“Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” by the Tubes. Also a great B movie. ---

You remember Jimmy Soul’s [If You Wanna Be Happy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxUY-99TPRY)? That was a slightly re-written cover of Roaring Lion’s [Ugly Woman.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZnNwZyaGf8) It has also been covered by [Robert Mitchum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N2OYpEAnCQ), and by a singer known as [The Charmer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUPxElXRTtQ) (who later joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name to Louis Farrakhan). ---

A staple of adult contemporary FM at a time when my parents wouldn’t let me change the radio dial while I was riding: “You’re the Only Woman” by Ambrosia. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MCdTHHjYxPo/maxresdefault.jpg "Ambrosia - You're The Only Woman") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCdTHHjYxPo) Browsing the wikipedia article to refresh my memory, I noticed they had a previous single “Can’t Let A Woman”. Also, Bruce Hornsby once was part of the group, which was a complete shocker to me. ---

Even **Mark\_Finn** ’s list from Billboard, several posts above, forgets this one (probably because it’s best left forgotten): _I Won’t Go Hunting With You Jake (But I’ll Go Chasin’ Wimmin)_ by Jimmy Dean (it was on the flip side of _Big Bad John_). ---
