Ok, DoctorDon, You Got Lucky to quote Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers this time, I tell myself:

Here is the sample I played on my keyboard. It's a couple of bars of piano played by me from vague memory making an attempt to emulate the melody line of the male vocals in the song so sought after. This is a rock song with a slow tempo. The slow drum beat has intermittent ring tones like hitting a tin can. The guy singing sounds white. No lyrics are remembered by me.

It was first heard by me circa May of 1983 in the San Francisco Bay Area in a Novato, CA record store. I don't know if it was a poppish sounding rock song or a rockish sounding pop song. It might have even been a pure rock song. The chords bear a remote likeness to Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith.
