Wow. Someone caught the reference.

Yeah 1972. I was in the sixth grade, just beginning to listen to pop radio. Had no idea what most of it meant, but it seemed cool to laugh at it -- especially the part about Bertha Butt.

The song was "Troglodyte " by Jimmy Castor Bunch, which contained a cave man voice saying:

"Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a woman".

In 1972, a group called The Delegates (Bob DeCarlo, then morning man at KQV/Pittsburgh) had a top ten recording called "Convention '72" in which politicians were asked questions, and song clips were played as their answers. Henry Kissinger was a man known for his popularity with and pursuit of women, so naturally, his reply to several questions throughout the song was the line from Troglodyte:

Ah, Mr Kissinger, amid this historic moment With all the pomp and grandeur Of the political system of America all around you Tell us Sir, what are your innermost thoughts At the very moment

Gotta find a woman
Gotta find a woman
Gotta find a woman
Gotta find a woman
