The Peak, 03/01/07: It's 1975

And America gets so damn depressed.  But before that, Rob rattles off an NBC evening lineup of the year that includes "Medical Center," "Ellery Queen," and, um, "The Montefuscos."

VHM: a silly place called "Camelot."  Which looks better in Legos.

Funny, Bob played a "Holy Grail" clip in '79 this week and I thought, "that can't be the right year". And it wasn't, I guess.

BOS Zep goes Chinese with "The Won-Ton Song"

I would have given a BOS to Ellery Queen if he played a bit of that theme song, which I can still whistle to this day.  I loved that show, Jim Hutton as Ellery, David Wayne as his dad.  Should have lasted a lot more than 2 seasons.

Listening to it for the second time today, I really have to ask: How on the gods' green earth did this become a Top 10 hit?  Utterly baffling to me.

But damn if Leo Sayer didn't have the most dissimilar Top 10s of anyone this side of Blondie: this, "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," "When I Need You," and "More Than I Can Say."

Seriously? That's a damn catchy chorus/hook.  (And it was the'70s, after all.)
