 Released in September, 1979 this catchy song recorded by English singer-songwriter 
Rupert Holmes about a man bored with his partner and writes a response to an intriguing 
personal ad he reads in the newspaper, was the Number One hit song in America
 this second week of January, 1980.

Planning to meet the mysterious woman, he arranges a secret rendezvous "at a
  bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape" only to discover that the ad 
 he answered was placed by his own lovely lady! 

I love songs with a happy ending!
