These are the only lyrics that I remember to a song accurately that they would play in some clubs in the early 80's. The song seems to have been heavy on the organ or synthesizer. The only other lyrics that I can remember vaguely were something like slip in to drive and something about the weekend from a Wednesday point of view. I have always been able to easily locate old songs that pop into my head with only a few lyrics and an approximate year, but this one has eluded me for years. Please help!

SWITCHIN' TO GLIDE

Hey Judy, get Trudy
Ya said to call you up if I was feelin' moody
Hey little Donna, ah still wanna
Ya said to ring you up when I was in Toronna

I have lots of friends that I can ding at anytime
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn
Sure we'll be rockin' till our strength is gone
Yeah, this beat goes on

And on, and on, and on

Hey ladies , ooh you crazies
Well, me and Zero request you in the Mercedes
And then we'll ride, so zoomy inside
The sky's the limit this time, I'm switchin' to glide

I don't give a hoot about what people have to say
I'm laughin' as I'm analyzed
Lunatics Anonymous, that's where I belong
Sure cause I am one, till my strength is gone
Yeah, this beat goes on

And on, and on, and on

I have lots of friends that I can ding at anytime
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn
Sure we'll be rockin' till our strength is gone
Yeah, this beat goes on

This beat goes on, this beat goes on
This beat goes on, this beat goes on
This beat goes on, this beat goes on
(Repeat)

THIS BEAT GOES.......

Nothin' matters but the weekend
From a Tuesday point of veiw
Like a kettle in the kitchen
I feel the steam begin to brew

Switchin' to glide, switchin' to glide
Switchin' to glide, switchin' to glide

Energy can be directed
I'm turnin' it up, I'mturnin' it down
Even love can be affected
Harmony's the sweetest sound

Switchin' to glide, switchin' to glide
Switchin' to glide, switchin' to glide

Balancin' on my head
Inside of me, taking the glide path instead

Everybody gets the note now
Hear it ringing in their ears
Lots of ways that you can go, Go!
Look around, no disappears

Switchin' to glide, switchin' to glide
Switchin' to glide, switchin' to glide

Switchin' to glide, yeah...switchin' to glide
Yeah, switchin' to glide, ah...hay...oooh...aaaaa
I'm switchin' to glide, I finally found some way outta this hole ya know

That is it. Man you don't know how many hours I have spent over the last several years searching lyrics, reviewing songs of the early 80's.

Thank you very much,

Charles
