BOC: songs in the key of BOC

In reference to the recent discussion about stuff that sounds like BOC:  I
always felt that "All Mixed Up" by the Cars sounded like something off of
AOF.

Also, anyone ever hear "Freewheelin'" by BTO?  B-side of "You Ain't Seen
Nothin' Yet" (lots of apostrophes on that 45).  I'd swear to God those guys
got it into their heads to do a "Buck's Boogie" knockoff, garnished with some
"Harvester of Eyes" guitar stutter (lots of stuttering on that 45, too).
 Which, given their limitations, I find almost touching.  I read a vicious
review of one of their albums years ago which stated that all of the
guitarist's solos started on the same note, but I lacked the stamina to check
out the truth of the claim.

(I was going to ask "Was the guitar player Randy?", but was afraid someone
from the British contingent would reply "Yes, and fortunately for him he was
Mormon, too" :-)
