The Electric Elves.

Before Ronnie James Dio was throwing up the horns and shooting lasers through machine made fog, he was in the pop band The Electric Elves. Talking about girls.

While digging for material from early Dio and Elf, I stumbled across this find. Despite its poppy sound, the lyrics are far from puppy love:

My Life's Been One Big Second-Rate Funny Book
No Real Connoisseur Bother Giving Me A Second Look
Can't Say That I Blame Them At All
Can't Say That I Blame Them At All
Hey Look Me Over - Then Walk Away From Me
Less Than A Pearl But You Want A (Bag Of Me?)
(Girls?) Are The Best Of My Funny Recollections
Number Forty-Four I'm A Stack Rejection
Oh
Take A Good Look And A Laugh At Your Personal Sideshow
I'll Just Pretend That Love Is A Word That I Don't Know
Can't Say That I Blame Them At All
Can't Say That I Blame Them At All
Hey Look Me Over - Then Walk Away From Me
Sixteen Thumbs And Ten Fingers Given To Me
Girl I'm Aware Of (Nuclear Prediction?)
I'm Just A Work Of Bad Science Fiction
Oh
Hey Look Me Over - Then Walk Away From Me
Sixteen Thumbs And Ten Fingers Given To Me
Girl I'm Aware Of (Nuclear Prediction?)
I'm Just A Work Of Bad Science Fiction
Oh
Hey Look Me Over - Then Walk Away From Me
Sixteen Thumbs And Ten Fingers Given To Me
Girl I'm Aware Of (Nuclear Prediction?)
I'm Just A Work Of Bad Science Fiction
Oh

This sounds like the ballad of deformed nuclear fallout victim, which inherently makes it that much more awesome.
