BOTB: WE GOTTA GET YOU A WOMAN

Here I am once again crashing the Battle Of The Bands blog-hop!

These five bloggers are co-sponsoring a blog event on the first and fifteenth of each month, and I am shamelessly leeching off of their idea because I am a bad person!

My entry is (surprise) once again a Todd Rundgren song, this time his first solo single, "We Gotta Get You A Woman," which went all the way up to twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Betcha didn't know that!

And didja know there was a remake of this tune by the Four Tops?

These are the two songs I am featuring today...

First, the Todd Rundgren version from the Runt album:





And next, the Four Tops version.... I could only find a clip of this in a medley, so WGGYAW starts at about the two minute point...



So what do you think? There is only one winner (to quote another Todd song) so which is it going to be?
For the heckuvit, here is the song performed by Todd for the first time ever in 2011 with the Metropole Orchestra (I just saw him perform it for the fifth time ever with the Akron Symphony Orchestra).
