"No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" is a song by the Canadian rock band, The Guess Who. It was released on their 1970 album, American Woman, and was released on the B-Side of the "American Woman" single. The single was officially released as "American Woman/No Sugar Tonight" and peaked at #1 on the billboard charts.
During a trip to California, Randy Bachman was threatened by a large man. Bachman was saved when a woman began to yell at the man, say he would get "no sugar tonight." Bachman then wrote a short song in the key of F# called "No Sugar Tonight." When he presented the song to Burton Cummings and the record company, he was told that the song was too short. Bachman and Cummings expanded the song by adding to it a song Cummings had written that was also in the key of F#, "New Mother Nature."
