http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFypAB7nYGA


This is also a new one on me! Is that Jon McClure from Rev and the Makers singing? :hihi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsMQbedCZj0

So what new music can you discover from this site! :D

Well!

I've just had to go and find "Short Fat Fanny" on t'Tube.

Well!

I've just had to go and find "Short Fat Fanny" on t'Tube.

:hihi: That's a fab song!

You mean to say you've never heard the classic 'Me And You And A Dog Named Boo' (http://www.lakeratskennel.com/downloads/Lobo%20-%20Me%20And%20You%20and%20A%20Dog%20Named%20Boo.mp 3)? :o Call yourself a music fan? :hihi: Though I always thought the dog's name was Blue :suspect: . You live and learn.

And is that the 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep'? Though this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldfkBwFyXgs&feature=related) is the one I know.

You mean to say you've never heard the classic 'Me And You And A Dog Named Boo' (http://www.lakeratskennel.com/downloads/Lobo%20-%20Me%20And%20You%20and%20A%20Dog%20Named%20Boo.mp 3)? :o Call yourself a music fan? :hihi: Though I always thought the dog's name was Blue :suspect: . You live and learn.

And is that the 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheap Cheap'?

I'm afraid it is a new one on me Hecate! I can't say i was that impressed by it lol. I can just imagine the video though!

I appear to like a whopping two songs from 1982. I'm sure there were more.

The two you've done in bold Agent Gypo I'm guessing are the ones you like rather than the only ones you know:hihi: (my red ones were the ones i knew but i don't expect anyone else to be that anal!)
Some good soft rock type stuff written that year. Must be an American site there is no mention of the Jam.

I love Cat Stevens' Wild World (http://jeffreymcknight.com/Cat-Stevens-Wild-World.mp3), though this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBwUkPYzjKs) one is my favourite (which was also from 1971). For that, I'll even forgive him working with Ronan Keating.

I had a look at the Chicago one - sounds a bit late 80s Moonlighting to me :suspect: .

ooh, I'm 1971 as well, and with the odd exception (ok, a few) I love my year list!!! I'm anyone's for Funky Nassau.....

All very well, but obviously based on US radio airplay. There are a lot of songs which didn't make an impact in Blighty at all.

I don't know if it still applies, but the US singles chart used to be based on airplay as well as sales whereas in the UK it was based solely on sales.

Edna, surely you know Love Her Madly by the Doors? :huh:

Funky Nassau is awesome...

I didn't! The doors is one of those bands i need really educating on. Don't own any albums... (I like Peace Frog a lot though)

Ooh as soon as funky nassau came on i remembered it - great tune!

Everything in blue made the year good, everything in red made the year bad everything in green must surely be a comedy record!

Lol! But you can't listen to it without making stupid boo,boo,boo,boo,bi,doo,boo, boo noises and a little sandi totsvik type dance. (just me then eh?)

This is obviously the American records of the year.

Missing from the list was the summer hit of the year in the UK:

Top Hits of 1970 (UK)
1 Elvis Presley The Wonder Of You
2 Christie Yellow River
3 Mungo Jerry In The Summertime
4 Freda Payne Band Of Gold
5 Shirley Bassey Something
6 Lee Marvin Wanderin' Star
7 Norman Greenbaum Spirit In The Sky
8 Simon & Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water
9 England World Cup Squad Back Home
10 Free All Right Now

Mungo Jerry was number 1 when I was born and it's not on the US list at all.

With the exception of the England world cup track, I don't think it's too bad at all.
