'i got you babe ultimately covered by couples fronting rock groups' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'i got you babe ultimately covered by couples fronting rock' is the wordplay.
'i got you' becomes 'og' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
'covered by' indicates putting letters inside.
'couples' says to double the letters (I've seen 'couple of' mean this).
'fronting' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'front of' mean this).
The final letter of 'babe' is 'e'.
The initial letter of 'rock' is 'r'.
'og'+'e'='oge'
'r' doubled is 'rr'.
'oge' placed inside 'rr' is 'ROGER'.
