wow, you're right.  Who was it that covered WYWM? '60s guy, the record was produced by Mellencamp.  Del Shannon? Mitch Ryder?

OK, I know a few of you are groaning, but I don't care: to me this is complete ear candy, or as Dave says: A Perfect Pop Song. VHM to Tracy Ullman/Kirstie MacColl's They Don't Know.

Uh-oh, PPS alert ...

Elvis! VHM The Only Flame in Town. Coincidence? I think not.


Another VHM for me, too.  This peaked at #56*, along with "I Am The Walrus", CDB's "Long-Haired Country Boy", and a song from yesterday's set.  Care to guess which one?

*I have been spending a lot of free time filling out my all-time Top 100 & there seems to be a few chart positions in the 41-100 range that have a whole bunch of entries.

I'll guess the Crash Test Dummies song, since most of the others yesterday charted Top 40 (and the La's peaked at #41, if memory serves).

Ack, you're right--that was my first thought and then something convinced me it was the Plimsouls. Think I was crossing it up with Million Miles Away.  :oops:

you got it.  Another bit of Chart trivia:  What band of this era, which had both of their Top 10 entries in 1984, also managed to have a song peak at #41 not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES?

Ooh - I love trivia questions like this!  Alas, I don't know this one -- although I think Scandal had two #41 hits preceding "The Warrior" ("Goodbye to You," and I forget the other one).  Gotta be something that was re-released, which would make me think "I Melt With You," except Modern English didn't have any other hits.  ZZ Top had "La Grange" spend 3 weeks at #41, but their top 10s came later, I'm sure.  Got any other hints?

Actually part of my hint will be to clean up a slight innacuracy. Let me rephrase:
What band of this era, which had two of their four Top 10 entries (and another two of their total 13 Top 40 hits) in 1984, also managed to have a song peak at #41 not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES?

I have an additional hint if that doesn't do it.

p.s. the La's peaked at #49 according to Allmusic.  Correct on the Scandal, though.
