And you can tell everybody....
Toodling around the web whilst I wait for Hazel to wake up from her nap, I found this website. What's your #1 hit?
Mine was "The Best of My Love" by the Emotions on the US chart and "Float On" by The Floaters on the UK chart. (August 26, 1977) I tried to look up Hazel's, but it said her information was unavailiable. Poor kid.

U.S.--"Tragedy" by the BeeGees
U.K--"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor
Funny how those two titles almost seem to belong together...

I always have had a soft spot in my heart for Michael Nesmith. Go fig.

US: "Me & Mrs. Jones" by Billy Paul - an R&B song about having an affair with a married woman.
UK: "My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry - a novelty song about masturbation.
Hmph.

ok folks:
The Wurzels are still touring and have quite a following, it turns out. This "Combine Harvester" song apparently is a parody of Melanie's "Brand New Key"...guess she is easy to parody, eh? Anyhoo, the Wurzels have their own "language," and there is currently a movement to get them back on top of the charts (they topped them in '76). The combine song is about a randy man trying to "get my hands on her... "land." I'm trying to get my hands on an audio file to listen to it, but no luck yet...

I got:
Tonight’s The Night (Gonna Be Alright) - Rod Stewart
Under The Moon Of Love - Showaddywaddy ---which makes 'Tubthumping' seem like a wannabe band/album name.
