Subject: a couple (possibly) 80s tunes
i've gotten a couple songs stuck in my head the past couple weeks and am looking for who sings them and what the names of the songs are. i think that both have been used in commercials for Burger King, so if thats any help
the first one has the line "Mr. Big Stuff / who do you think you are? / Mr. Big stuff..."
The other (sorry i don't know any more of it) has the line "Whoa hoa hoa its Magic..." (not the cars - magic or elo - livin thing, i checked those) (its kind of a slow rock / ballady type song, some guy singing up in falsetto)
if anyone could help i would be highly appreciative

The song is "Magic" by a group called Pilot. It came out in the mid '70s and is available on a few different compilations - possibly a Time/Life one as well, one commercial has footage of them singing the tune (check out the drummer with big hair, a scarf, and a smile). Check the "Various Artists" section of your local record store. I believe the group is Scottish.
