I caught only a snippet of it on WIUX, the IU student radio station. (I’ve sent this same question to their staff.) All I can remember was a slow beat similar to the song “Rock On (Jimmy Dean)” by David Essex, and a pair of soft male voices. The only lyrics I can remember: “Rise to the occasion. Girls can be persuasive.”

What might this song have been?
