From 1968, here's the actually excellent Southern soul singer O.C. Smith and a scratchy, obviously transferred from vinyl, version of his nonetheless not so excellent signature hit "Little Green Apples."
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
But if I were a betting man, I'd mortgage the farm that nobody will get it.
Just saying.

Songs covered by others.
Ya know, when you say that we will not likely get it, it really fires me up to get it! I never DO get those, but it greatly raises my motivation Steve, so thanks!

Songs that mention God
The Good Hearted Woman Loving a Good Timin' Man list of songs extolling the virtues of fantasy women living happy perky lives whilst under yon singers’ benevolent rock ‘n roll thumbs?
Oops. I truly just now recognized anonymous’s “abusive relationships” entry above. Well I say it’s unconscious plagiarism & I say it’s not my fault.

Ooop -- that's why God invented editors. I think I'll go fix that.
Oh, and BTW -- even though you didn't guess the actual theme, your suspicion about the Smashing Pumpkins non-viability here is very much on the money.
Thus, I award you the First Ever Coveted PowerPop Honorary No-Prize!!!!
You should be very proud.
songs by artists who use their initials?
Worst post-Elvis songs by black artists sounding like white artists?
Okay, no one's really close, so here's a clue.
It has to do with the title. Specifically, it's similarity to another phrase.
Colors? As in "Little Red Rooster"?
Or songs with "Sure as the Lord made" in the lyrics?
Oh. I get it now.
"Oh. I get it now." Anonymous said that.
"Yes. Like a JIGSAW puzzle, the pieces are FALLING into place." I said that.
OK, this is wrong but that's never stopped me before: Little Green Apples is to Little Deuce Coup is to songs that refer to a car in the title or lyrics?
Little Green Apples is to Little Green Men is to songs referencing space?
