I'm impressed with his off-rhyming of "little green apples" with "Indianapolis."  But I've definitely never heard that, and unless I've got my authors screwed up, the only Bobby Russell songs I know are "Saturday Morning Confusion" and "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia."


he also (unfortunately for mankind but fortunately for him) wrote Bobby Goldsboro's HFH "Honey"

I never noticed before that at the fade, Edwin Starr sees his baby "just across the bend."  Whoopsie!

I still think Steve Miller is a lyrical nimrod, but at least he hit a nice groove on "Space Cowboy."  VHM.

I hollered, "Don't listen to 'Space Oddity', Ethel! But it was too late -- she'd already been 'mooned'!"

You can guess what I voted for, but Bowie's out to an early lead.

CCR - Bad Moon Rising   7.4%
The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down   7.4%
Rare Earth - Get Ready   3.7%
Cream - Crossroads   12.3%
Three Dog Night - Celebrate   14.8%
The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer   6.2%
The Guess Who - No Time   13.6%
Edwin Starr - 25 Miles   6.2%
Steve Miller - Space Cowboy   7.4%
David Bowie - Space Cowboy   21.0%

TANC: "Little Green Apples" on WLNG at this very moment.  Another reason it was a big hit was that a lot of stations felt bad that his previous single "The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp", wasn't as big as everybody thought it should be.
