in our current music world. we have gaga. we have bieber. we have beyonce. we have kanye west. we have bruno mars. we have SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT. i am so glad that I grew up in a era when music meant something and can evoke a sense of warmth and remembrance from a day long gone. I clan close my eyes when I listen to this and I am a kid again. I close my eyes when I hear gaga, bieber, beyonce, kanye. and I put my hands over my ears and scream! to drown out the shitnoise.
Awesome song and video. I recognize the Radio from the video for, 'Friends and lovers' "Reach out of the darkness". Thank you for bringing this great tune here too. Peace always...
This is an exceptional yet underplayed song with extremely well conjoined lyrics, mellow personality and very memorable melody. Todd Rundgren's best. Enjoy.
"they may be stupid but they sure are fun." you can't get away with lyrics like that anymore. I loved this song since I was a young kid, before I ever had a woman.
Hey transistor, I hear ya loud and clear! All that you mentioned (that incredible excuse for music) , when it is actually an INSULT to the real artists. What's so puzzling is that today's genre LIKES it...They just don't KNOW any better...Go out and turn on THIS genreation to the greats of rock n rol, R&B,soul,blues etc.... of yesteryear....... I have a local show and would not ever even consider playing all that CRAPOLA that you mentioned....right on TRANSISTOR!
i heard this song before the ringer hes my moms favorite artist and my dad had this cd in the car when i was like 8. Gives me a feeling of nostalgia. Thank you for this post
@VICKY3610; I agree with you! We were blessed to be alive to witness the rennaissance of rock music in the '70's! To hear this music & be almost physically transported back to that time our lives.... it's better than any drug! :-)
I would be embarrassed by this, if I was Todd. I think this is one of the flakiest songs ever written! The way women are discussed here as 'inamimate objects' . He might as well say, "we gotta get you a candy bar"!
@XbaseballkidX98 I knew this song way before the RINGER. when I saw the RINGER, I was glad as to how they used the song. It is a great song, and I am glad that it has found a new audience. the RINGER was a funny movie as well......thanks for listening.
It is such a jazzy and hip little number, musically so wonderfully arranged, full of sound and clever timing....and then, no matter how many times I have heard the song, I still wait for that wonderful finishing punch line... "When we're through with you, we'll get me one too....", a wonderful song, creative all the way sets up that one line...very very well done Todd.
I'm only 13 and I've been listening to Todd Rundgren's music since I was 3. My parents had his "Best of todd rundgren" or whatever it was called, I can't remember.
I heard this song when it played on the radio in January and Febuary of 1971, It especially reminded me of the Sylmar earthquake that i felt while i lived in Pasadena, Fun year that was.
@popspoptunes Ya that makes sense I worked(In a crappy hot bakery) for a year before going off to an art school, It was between 69-70 I was stuck in bakery hell, this song was the few joys I had that year.
didn't todd do this much earlier, with the Nazz? I remember hearing in on AM radio when my mom drove me to school in 1967 (sixth grade). Or has time distorted my memory?????
I remember this song from the early 70s! And I remember transistor radios too! The two of those together, this is one of the best thingies ever on YouTube!
He recorded this in his garage playing all the instruments and doing all the vocals and wrote the lyrics !!!!!!! a genuine musician a genius !!!!!!! who can do this today?????
IT LETS ME FLOAT BACK TO 1971 AND THE LOVE OF MY 'S DAD'S NAME WAS LE ROY. WE CONNECTED 40 YEARS LATER......I WANTED THE MIDDLE.. IT WAS GONE.. BUT I STILL LOVE IN MY HEART FOR HIM/././././
I was 11or so, when this song came out. The early seventies were a great time or life and maturity. I'm glad I lived then. It's the older generation that fucked it up (ww II).
Great song. Very catchy. No disrespect to Todd Rundgren but this song is heavily influenced by Laura Nyro. He's acknowledged an influence but--wow!--this could be a Laura song.
This is one of the best songs of all time. I have loved this song since I was a teen, and I still feel the same when I hear it....thirty five years later. Amazing melodies, and feeling. Todd Rundgren is the best.
@ChrissieE5 This played constantly on the juke box and Brothers and the Barrel (there was a 3rd bar) when I was a freshman at LSUNO 1971. Remember it like it was yesterday.
@ChrissieE5 I can so relate! I used to hear this on the jukebox constantly at Brothers, The Barrel, and can't remember the name of the 3rd in a trio of bars where LSUNO students gathered 1971-2 lots of foosball playing. Levon and Steely Dan also.(sp?).They were on the corner of Robert E.Lee and Elysian Fields Ave.
Thanks for the upload--this is one of my favorite songs from the 70s & it's not on any of the CD compliations I have. I've rarely heard this song since the late 70s, the oldies station I regularly listen to NEVER plays it.
All I can say again is...I am so blessed to grow up with fantastic music..As someone else posted...Just the fantastic feeling that came from music when you are a young teen girl in the 70's.Wouldnt have wanted to be from any other era!!!Best rock groups from the 70's as well!!!!Hold unto the memories!!!
@VICKY3610 THIS WAS WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC. NO LADY GAGA. NO JUSTIN BEIEBER. NO USHER. NO BEYONCE. NO 50 CENT....ALL THAT MUSIC IS SHIT AND WILL NEVER HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN ANYONES MEMORY THE WAY THESE SONGS DO. MUSIC OF THE PAST IS MUSIC THAT LASTS. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
@VICKY3610 RIGHT ON, SISTER! I can't believe I haven't looked up all of my old favorite songs on here until now! It's like a natural high! OMG! We were SOOO lucky to live in this time. I was a young teenager in the 70's, too. It was a BLAST!!! Thanks for posting this song! I could sit here and listen to the old tunes...probably for the rest of my life! Deja Vu!!!
The first version of this Todd Rundgren song that I heard was performed by The Four Tops. Hey man/We've got to get you a woman. Levi Stubbs' vocals were exceptional.
My best friend and I always thought we were the lady killer in the early 70's. Sock hops and going to the lake to meet foxes. This song always gave us hope and maybe a future with mamas. I am so glad I was around when song like this were around and life was full of hope and promises. We both got us a women and they were the best! I miss the innocent and happenings of the 1970's. Better get walking!
We Gotta Get You A Woman - Todd Rundgren [Upper Darby, Pennsylvania] - No.20 on 12/26/1970+. 9 weeks Top 40. - "AMG Pick. His first band was called Runt. His first and only Top 40 hit by this band. A Laura Nyro-styled piano pop song." - Runt (Bearsville/Rhino)-1990.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS RECORDED UNDER THE NAME "RUNT" WHICH I UNDERSTAND WAS TODD'S NICKNAME...I LOST A BET CUZ I SWORE THE NAME OF THE GROUP WAS RUNT....I KNEW IT WAS HIM ...ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS
This song was a big part of my life through my older sister and her friends. I guess as a young teeny bopper I was hoping to 'get me a woman' someday soon. Ha! Life was seemingly so simple back then.
I'm listening to this one on a library PC, where upon entry I scoffed up a RUNT 45rpm single of this tune from the Free Bin they maintain here. What a find!
I've always thought that this was a wonderful Pop/Rock song. I used to play it in college on the radio station. One day, I got a call from a female student named Martha Coakley---anyone recognize that name? I was told that this song was sexist and anti-feminist, anti-female. I said, "huh"? If she was right, that concept still escapes me, 40 years later. Incidentally, back then, she had jet-black hair.
"And when we're through with you... we'll get me one, too." That one line there just makes ya think of the true friends that always put you before themselves.
God this song just makes me smile.The music and lyrics! A woman wHo's been around ONE WHO KNOWS BETTER THAN TO LET YOU DOWN,AND WHEN WERE THROUGH WITH YOU WE'LL GET ME ONE TO.He PUTS A LOT OF HEART SOUL AND EXPERIENCE IN WORDs TO GREAT MUSIC,HE IS AWESOM,SEEMS LIKE A NICE GUY FROM WHAT I HEAR!
Does anyone know where this song is as performed on Ally McBeal. Todd's original is good, but McBeal's version is so much better. Come on guys let's get this online!

This song was a big part of my life through my older sister and her friends. I guess as a young teeny bopper I was hoping to 'get me a woman' someday soon. Ha! Life was seemingly so simple back then.

I remember loving this song but never knowing who sang it....then I discovered Todd and was happy to know it was a TR song.

I'm listening to this one on a library PC, where upon entry I scoffed up a RUNT 45rpm single of this tune from the Free Bin they maintain here. What a find!

I've always thought that this was a wonderful Pop/Rock song. I used to play it in college on the radio station. One day, I got a call from a female student named Martha Coakley---anyone recognize that name? I was told that this song was sexist and anti-feminist, anti-female. I said, "huh"? If she was right, that concept still escapes me, 40 years later. Incidentally, back then, she had jet-black hair.

to Nigel- I think Ally McBeal used a different song. I think it was Can we still be Friends or I Saw the Light.

"And when we're through with you... we'll get me one, too." That one line there just makes ya think of the true friends that always put you before themselves.

Does anyone know where this song is as performed on Ally McBeal. Todd's original is good, but McBeal's version is so much better. Come on guys let's get this online!
