Quote from: "Gazoo"
The Beatles' "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" isn't a good call for this set - it's not really dumb and it's certainly not pleasurable.


I totally agree.  IMHO just a (very rare for the Beatles) bad song.
Now I'm eight bits...

Anyone ever been to Funky Chinatown?


it's right next to Slammin' Little Italy. Try the Poppin' Potstickers.

WOS2 "I Wanna Be a Cowboy", a record that's nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is.

WOS -- worst of month -- "Puttin on the Ritz". Sorry, Gaz, *this* is a truly horrible record.


De gustibus non disputandem set.

We all know the difference between Turkeys & HFH's as a rule but let's not degenerate into individual debates.  I think Beatles & Taco & Pipkins are all Turkeys.

and "I Wanna Be A Cowboy"

Nevertheless, I was *delighted* every Sunday while it was ascending Casey's survey.  Seemed such a shock that it was catching on.

IN fact, I had the same feeling when "One Night in Bangkok" rode the charts.

BTW, Mark, dunno if you heard Dave talk about you during the 6am hour today: he mentioned that there are people who are "REALLY into 10@10" and keep databases of sets... and that one of those people had sent him the 2002 Turkeys setlist.  Then Peter chimed in with "Oh yeah -- I met one of those guys at our live broadcast in San Jose. He seemed... normal!"

I thought this was a HFH (as well as the Carl Douglas tune).
