[net.music] artist & title query

Does anyone know the title and artist of the song used in the
opening credit sequence of the movie "Desperately Seeking Susan"?
I believe that it was some old Motown girl-group.

Also, anyone know the artist of the old song "Want Ads" 
(Gonna put it in the want ads, I need a man that's true ...)?

Thanks in advance,

Can't help you here, 'cause I haven't seen the movie... could you hum it?  :-)

OK, now one I can answer... that was Honey Cone (Hot Wax, 1971).  Saw
that one quoted just the other day in an article about dating through
the "personals"!

BTW, Honey Cone's lead singer, Edna Wright, is the sister of the Crystals'
lead singer, Darlene Love.
