Question
Hi.

I heard a song on the radio and can't find what it is. I can't tell from which decade (probably 80's or 90's) it is but the station only plays classic rock. It is a R&R beat, song by a man and some of the lyrics in the chorus are "Marylou is going (or coming) to town (or downtown)". This is the only clue I can give you. Hope you can help or pass it over to the pool."

Thanks!

Answer

 I don't know much about 80s and 90s music, I mostly know music from when rock was happening.   Although some artists from the rock era were still recording then they weren't getting much air play,  and in the early 80s rock music was gasping for air.   

  But,  I think it is slightly possible you might be thinking of a Bob Seger song called "Betty Lous Gettin Out Tonight".   That was a  popular song among bar bands and in juke boxes.
