"Tie Me Down" by Toronto

Toronto was a rock band that formed in the late 70s (I'll leave it to you to guess where) and scored a string of minor hits in Canada. They managed to crack the US chart once in 1982 when "Your Daddy Don't Know" went to #77.

Not sure why this band, which alternated between male and female lead vocals, wasn't bigger. The songwriting chops were there: one of their tunes, "What About Love," became a huge comeback smash for Heart, who took it to #10 in 1985.

The peppy "Tie Me Down" comes from their 1980 debut album, "Lookin' For Trouble," which also contains the popular track "Even The Score."
