This weekend Casey70's does April 8, 1972:
http://www.whnn.com/goout.asp?u=http://images.radcity.net/5874/4250982.pdf

uh-oh: JB addresses his fellow Americans and lady Americans in the solemn oddity "King Heroin" .

So be you Italian, Jewish, Black, or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex

But hooray for Honey Cone, Nilsson (times 2), Macca giving Ireland back to the Irish, and BJ Thomas' lovely lullabye.

And this weekend's edition of AT40/The '80s is from 4/14/1984:

http://www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/04-14-84.pdf

The Top 40 at its most monocultural - or the monoculture at its Top 40-est.  Either way, lots of good stuff here; nothing NTM, but a few (like Matthew Wilder's forgotten escape from OHW-dom, "The Kid's American") that I haven't heard in 25 years.  (It hurts to type that.)

Gladys imagines a lot of happy people!  VHM to Ms. Knight and the credited but absent Pips on "Help Me Make It Through the Night."

The Temptations' "Take a Look Around" was so NTM, I'd never even noticed it in their chart history before.  I can see why it was left off their 2-CD GH comp I have.

Aww, a resolution twin-spin: "Ain't Understanding Mellow?" "We've Got to Get It On Again."  Except I'd rather not hear the Addrisis talk about penetrating.

Casey gets out the vote!  Rap on, Casey, rap on!  And BOS to Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing."

It's the Polish Prince!  From Canonsburg, PA (IIRC), Bobby Vinton and "Every Day of My Life."  Absurdly out of place in this countdown.  I often forget that "My Melody of Love" wasn't really a comeback for him in terms of years.

ETA: I swear I typed that before Casey called him "the Canonsburg Kid" on the backsell!

Ha, good thinking!  If only my mom had heeded BOS2, Honey Cone's "The Day I Found Myself."

and I suppose Bobby Vinton's "Every Day of My Life" includes being a zygote!

that Paul McCartney Give Ireland Back To The Irish.. sounds like he wrote that in five minutes.

interesting that Donny Osmond was "the electronics buff" of the family, who Casey says "repaired" their TVs and radios and amps.  Oh Dang, these new fangled contraptions!   I can't get them to work!  Get Donny over here.... those kids know everything about the wireless...

nice melodramatic torch song by Cher, laying the groundwork for place as Vegas act/gay icon.

Criminal that this missed the Top 10.

Candy Man is a great song, but the actor who sings it in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory is downright creepy.

there's a 2nd appearance of "candy" in the Stylistics' Bethcha By Golly Wow:

...Candyland appears each time you smile....

The upright bass on Rubina Flake's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" rattled my computer speakers!

I've said many times that if Sammy's version had come out when the movie did, instead of nearly a year later, "Candy Man" would've easily won the Best Song Oscar for '71 (and Isaac Hayes would've been a mad mother---- Shut mah mouth!)
