You don't like Frankenstein? Dr Hook also had a hit with a cover of Sam Cooke around that time, the song Only Sixteen.

I was thinking more along the lines of expressions like "find me a honey" and "blow this town". Also, the blue collar "need a paycheck before I can go on a date" motif works better with Sam Cooke, who sounds the part.

The Beatles had the same problem with some of their Chuck Berry covers.
