"Never Been Any Reason" by The Great Pretenders

 Boardman, Ohio classics cover artists The Great Pretenders tackle "Never Been Any Reason," a 1975 single (with a catchy af organ hook) from Illinois rock band Head East.

The Riverwest 24-hour bike race held annually in Wisconsin has adopted the song as their official anthem, and stream the tune on a loop for the full 24-hour duration of the event, causing a spike in Spotify listenership that possibly earns the surviving band members a whopping four cents apiece.  Maybe.
