The Drive, 12/11/07: 1969!

Arlo's "Comin into Los Angeleees" promised.

Salivate! Salivate! BOS to the 3DN!

The Biggest OHW of All Time (despite what VH-1 may have told you): Zager & Evans.

VHM J&Y, standing at the dock at Southampton, looking like 2 gurus in drag.

BOS2 Arlo.

They weren't overtaken by the Macarena duo?

Have they never hit the Hot 100 since?  How many weeks was "Macarena" #1 ? 

Mainly I was criticizing VH-1, since Z&E wasn't even mentioned in their top 100 OHWs countdown -- god forbid the target demo should hear something, y'know, OLD.

The original mix charted some months after the Bayside Boyz remix became such a massive hit.  I don't think that counts as a second hit, but YMMV.  Point taken and agreed on VH1's incompleteness, though.

Casey Kasem did several OHW countdowns in the '70s --"The Greatest Disappearing Acts of All Time" he called 'em, and his guidelines were indeed strict: one hit and NEVER hit the Hot 100 again.  Z&E were #1 one time he did it, the other time it was Joan Weber's "Let Me Go Lover".  I wish they'd throw some of his specials into the syndicated mix -- hoping for a Xmas Countdown next week, for example.

Weber was a sad story: died in a mental institution, apparently not even bothering to cash her royalty checks.

I'll be listening to this Saturday's AT40, hoping for 1972 although that year isn't due to come up.
