Song name starts with a Y

2011-04-08T12:59:00.001-06:00

NOTES:
1) Name the song
2) "Check Yes Juliet" starts with a "c".

For anyone who can't watch the video, it's Smokey Robinson on Sesame Street singing "U Really got a Hold on Me"

If the song name starts with a "Y" but the name of the song isn't in the lyrics, it's no good. So quote eight words or more of the song, including the y-starting name of the song.
