From somewhere in England (Wembley Stadium, actually) in 1982 here's 10CC (featuring genius songwriter Graham Gouldman on bass and vocals) with "I'm Mandy, Fly Me."
A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania. (Which will be going up later than usual -- circa 8am -- so speculate away!!!)

I'm recusing myself...
I should hope so.
:-)
Seriously -- if you didn't already know, would you have guessed from the clue?
I'll take the reference to Graham Gouldman as the hint here and guess "Most Underrated Pop Songwriter". I'm surprised that 10cc at this point was still popular enough to play at Wembley Stadium, but I watched a couple of clips from that show and they sounded quite good, even if 10cc was Gouldman, Eric Stewart, and hired hands at this point.
No, but I LURVE Graham Gouldman...
Steve, I've yet to get even ONE of your clues...
You would have gotten this one...

Songs that Barry Manilow wishes he wrote? I mean, with that ashes thing looming in his future and all ...

Don't know how that happened ... I can't post half the time over at Atrios and I double-post over here. Oh well, back to my wine ...
BG:
Enjoy it...

Thanks ... I most definitely will ...

Okay -- here's a big hint.
the Mandy in the clue is the clue.
It's the name....
How about "Best songs about young/old women" for $200, Alec.

That's so close I'm gonna have to give it to you.
Best songs with girls names in the title....
a coveted No-Prize is heading your way, my friend. Kudos and huzzahs...
(oh -- don't get started with me about the word "girls." I know they're "women," and I cover that
in the lead-in to the list.)
