And here on the replay is Don McLean's unfairly overlooked "Dreidel", which gets Flashback-of-the-Day honors (and that's saying something on a chart like this).

Ah, and I miss the days when Casey would answer questions like "which animal has been named in the most #1 songs?" (the answer is "dog", in 3 #1s, BTW).

And now Casey intros Bette Midler as "one of the most acclaimed nightclub performers in years".  Well, I guess bath-houses are clubs that you go to at night...

Barry Scott kicks off tonight's Lost 45s with "Yes We Can Can."  I wonder if their albums of the period are worth seeking out.

On the slate for later: interviews with Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman.

The Bee Gees' original "Run to Me"; I sang the praises of Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs' cover of it to anyone who would listen.

Oh, for goodness' sakes: "Disco Lucy."  Utter Desilunacy.

An early Chris Norman & Smokie record, "If You Think You Really Love Me," sounding a LOT like Albert Hammond's "... Southern CA," which I just listened to a little while ago. (I have a major crush on Hammond Sr. as he appeared in '74.)

Barry plays Paul Davis's "I Go Crazy" and informs us that -- I didn't know that! -- the record was produced by Michael "Let's All Dance" Zager.

Shocker: I could really give a good goddamn about the Oscars.  I'm copyediting a newsletter while listening to Suzi Quatro's "Gloria" rewrite, "Lipstick."

TANC: just heard this on CG -- "If You think You Know How to Love Me" is the actual title -- and it's a fine single that deserved better in the US (it reached #3 in the UK). Sweeney says Chris Norman is a big star in Germany these days. Wonder if he knows Hasslehoff?
