OMFG! "bubbling under" at #22: ONJ's cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads"! New to me.

ROTFL!
I spent 4 days in Nashville for "Fan Fest" in 1985. The aging Osmonds (well, 3 of them) were trying to re-invent themselves as a country act. We stayed at the Marriott (the Mormon hotel, as you probably know) and the Osmonds fan club was staying there -- I have never seen so many overweight 12-year-old girls in one place in my life. And remember this was '85, so these were kids whose only musical option as Mormons was... aging Osmonds! Frightening.
BTW Gaz, you gotta listen to this countdown if you can fit it in -- obscure Partridges (Looking Thru the Eyes of Love), the J-5's fab "Doctor My eyes" cover -- great stuff.

I can never find the Retro countdown - where's it at on the http://www.mygoldmusic.co.uk/ site? Sorry to be so dense about that.
Speaking of dense, surprised that those girls could get chunky without caffeine (and thus soda) being part of the diet ...

click the "listen again" tab on the player, you'll get a list of shows. Look for "From the Bottom to the Top", click it and you'll get 2 dated choices -- click either one, one's the Tuesday rerun of the Sunday orig.
-
And here's another fave "shoulda-been" : Focus' "Sylvia", a wonderful instrumental. Their follow-up to "Hocus Pocus" in the US, it bombed here but was huge in Europe.
-
wow, I never realized Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar-O" predates "Boys are Back in Town" by 3 years!
-
GodDAMNit! They played the wrong version of "Doctor My Eyes" -- Jackson Browne instead of Jackson Five. Boo! Hiss! Sorry, Gaz.

I can't find this list of shows. I keep launching the player and all I get is "Tiny Dancer."

OK, finally found it!

Hello! Hooray! Let Alice Cooper begin -- I've been ready!
-
"Cindy Incidentally" was new to me.
-

They're doing the same thing to "Why Can't We Live Together," playing some awful house-collage remix.
-
VHM Sweet, "Blockbuster", their follow-up to "Little Willy", it never took hold over here.

I actually like that version (it gets regular play on CGSS) but yeah, it's wrong for '73.
-
Ooh! "That's When the Music Takes Me." I wonder what happens when David Geffen takes him.

Ewww. That's a visual that may just put me off lunch today.
I'm at the end of the countdown and eagerly await your remaining comments... say, if "Feel the Noise" were the name of a porn mag, then "Cum on Feel the Noise" would take on a whole diff meaning :D
-
"Nice One, Cyril"? English drinking songs are strange.

seems like there's one unfathomable Brit novelty record in every countdown.

In this case, two, as reminded by our dreadful and dreck-ful "Long-Haired Lovah."

well, but that's of US origin. I'm thinking of those football anthems and comedy records (Benny Hill charted regularly in the '70s) that were forever keeping "real" songs out of the #1 spot over there.
-
This cover of "Baby, I Love You" has the most obnoxiously Christmassy sleigh bells I've ever heard in a non-Christmas song. All the more bizarre for a March countdown heard in a particularly hot July.

It's your fave guy, Dave Edmunds! ;) I do prefer the Andy Kim version.

Meanwhile, I've switched over to WLNG and I'm rewarded with Cher's fab gender-bending "You Better Sit Down, Kids".

"I'll still be your dad." No wonder Chastity was confuzzled.
-
Fab pop/soul goodness from CGSS: "Floy Joy" followed by "Whodunit" Fer cryin' out loud -- somebody call McCloud!
-
Greg caps my afternoon with Sly Fox. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
-
JJ leads off with Brick's "It Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody", a top ten R&B hit in '78 that sadly peaked at #92 pop.
-
New to me: Jerry Butler and Brenda Lee Eager doing a very Isaac Hayes-ish take on "Close to You". Me likey.
and it's followed by Freda Payne's fab, forgotten "Deeper & Deeper".
-
Testimony to what double-tracking and blaring backing vox can do for a thin voice: Barry Scott trots out Frank Stallone's "Far From Over."
-
Oh. My. GAWD! Little Steven is doing his first-ever "Xmas in July" spectacular. I'm in RnRXmas heaven!
