I'm Your Vehicle Baby Boomer Baby

When I first heard this song I thought it was sung by Blood, Sweat & Tears. Many called the Ides of March a "knock-off group" for BS&T and that's why their one-hit wonder ended up being a huge success.

Apparenty the song is based on a true story where the lead singer of the group (Jim Peterik) fell for a girl and after 6 months of dating, the girl dumped him. A few months later he got a call from her asking him for a lift. He didn’t even hesitate in offering the lift and this continued for a long time. Even though he knew she was using him, he didn’t mind being her Vehicle.
