Song stuck in head help? It's a 70's soul song that I heard on the radio yesterday. I don't know anything at all about that era of music, so I can't narrow it down at all. Male vocals, a slightly "Midnight Train to Georgia" ish melody, and lyrics about how it isn't easy to love two women, how the guy would need two jobs with double pay, need to be two men etc. I'm sure this is an easy one, but I don't have a clue how to even look for it!

The 70's seemed to be gripped by "Up the [blank]" mania. Up The Organization (1970). Up the Chastity Belt (1971). Up the Sandbox (1972). Up the Workers (1973). Up the Academy (1980). Then there was "Up With People," but that doesn't really seem related in tone. Where did the "Up the..." form come from, and why the prevalence in 70's culture?
