VHM Bloody Well Right. And for remembering that Supertramp had a record prior to 1979.
Let's get right to it.

sorry Mike, Boogie Down was #2 in late March.


it may have peaked in late March but I'm sure it was released before the end of December.


Allmusic & Billboard don't agree with you, but I don't personally care if they're wrong & you're right.  Whitburn has it entering the charts the last week of January.  Maybe your radio station got an advanced copy?

VHM "Bloody Well Right".  it was supposed to be the B-side of "Dreamer", which was a huge hit in the UK, but A&M screwed up and switched the A & B sides in America. "Bloody Well" charted anyway but one wonders what would've happened had they gotten it, uh, bloody well right.

Ha ha!

No, but if I ever have to sit dwon for a lie detector test I am going to get this stuck in my head and give all kinds of slightly innaccurate answers & see if they can calibrate the thing.  I'm betting they can't.

KFOG actually played this during the morning show in the last week or so.  I distincly remember I was coming down the Sunol Grade & thinking "Boy, they sure shoulda put the 'where you never know what you're going to hear next' clip in front of this," and then wondering if there had been a subtle programming change?

Fully agree, but this is another case where Dave is all over one album by a certain artist (Court and Spark, in this case) and rarely plays anything from others (like Hejira or The Hissing of Summer Lawns, for instance.)

To put a finer point on it, we've heard at least 7 tracks from C&S by my count, but only Coyote from Hejira and nothing from Hissing...

For Mike's benefit:

The Joni tune was followed by Any Major Dude and I Shot the Sheriff.

And was there something else in there?

Jungle Boogie, which IMHO is becoming a Katrina now.
