There's one edit and an early fade.
Snip out the section between 2:45.25 and 2:55.65. It's a downbeat toward the beginning of an instrumental bridge. You'll cut right to when the rock guitar comes in on the downbeat.
After you make that edit, start your fade around 3:15, and end it at 3:28. I'm confident in this endpoint, even though Andy was evidently frying up some bacon in a pan during the fadeout on my 42-year-old 45.

No, no! That's actually his liver & spleen turning to ashes from the flames. ;-) (Welcome aboard, Plastic Steel!)

That's probably it. Now that I think about it, "Fire, Baby I'm On Fire" seems more of a frantic plea for someone (anyone) to call 911 than it is to update your significant other on the status of your relationship.

Oh that's why his hits stopped after that. No one ever put
out the fire.

Or maybe the fire only fried his brain, and thus he changed his name shortly thereafter to Baron Longfellow. (Maybe even HE felt "Andy Kim" died in the fire.)
I always found that name change very odd, especially after finally having #1 success with the name Andy Kim (real name Andy Joachim, I believe).

He had a Top 40 hit in Canada as recently as 1991 with a song called "Powerdrive" under the name Longfellow (having dropped the Baron). When I was finishing my collection of Canadian Top 40 hits, this was one of the toughest songs to track down. It was supposed to be an advance single from an album, but I have not been able to uncover any evidence the album was ever released. The song appears to have been commercially released only on a cassette single and, as far as I know, only in Canada.
I was able to find a CD single of the song on his own ICE label which I strongly suspect is a promo, although there is no such indication on the disc.
Around 2004, Ed Robertson of The Barenaked Ladies coaxed him back into the studio and an EP was recorded including a new recording of "Powerdrive". It was released under the name Andy Kim, which is the name to which he has also reverted for his live performances.
It's odd that "Rock Me Gently" has been issued on about fifty domestic CDs and "Baby, I'm On Fire" hasn't been on any. Both were recorded for Kim's own ICE label. I wonder if he perhaps sold "Rock Me Gently' outright to Capitol but only licensed "Baby, I'm On Fire".

I have a feeling it's more to do with the fact that RMG peaked at #1 and the follow-up peaked at #28 and really never got played on oldies '70s terrestrial radio stations.
On Boston & Providence RI stations, I never heard the follow-up at all back then. But around the time it was probably dropping down the charts, I heard a radio commercial for his LP (or an Andy Kim concert? ... don't recall the details), and from having heard just the chorus on this commercial quite a few times, I immediately went out and bought the 45.
