2NG's retro chart is Sept 1977 today. Cheezy UK goodness. La Belle Epoque doing a disco-ized "Black is Black".
OMGWTFLOL: the Adverts, "Gary Gilmore's Eyes"!!! "gary don't need his eyes to see/Gary and his eyes have parted com-pa-nee!"
holee crap: Mink DeVille's "Spanish Stroll" actually made the UK Top 40. And here's the Jacksons with "Dreamer", which amazingly is NTM. (oops, the host is mistaken: the Randy Jackson of the Jacksons is NOT the one from "American Idol", dawg.)
Jeezus, another NTM track: Yvonne Elliman's lovely ballad "I Can't Get You Out of My Mind"
oo! oo! Eddie & the HotRods, "Do Anything You Wanna Do"! (they were simply "The Rods" in the UK -- I did not know that.)
NTM: the Dooleys, "I Think I'm Gonna Fall in Love With You" -- sounding frighteningly like early TO & Dawn.
Elkie Brooks' much-beloved-by-Brits "Sunshine After the Rain" is quite nice.
The Emotions' "Best o' mah Lurve" scores in the UK after having been #1 over here.
hey-lolly-lolly! it's Meri Wilson's "Telephone Man". Put it in!
Brotherhood of Man's "Angelo" is a shameless ripoff of ABBA's "Fernando".
Lawd! Candi Staten Island's fab cover of "Nights on B'way"
Mah name ith Charlth! And ah love a woman who lets me borrow her clothes! Float on, girlfriend!
Elvis' "Way Down" -- #1 for a number of weeks -- makes my morning. Thankyaverramuch.
