We've got a run of 4 consecutive number ones here: AddickUpNorth: Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling johnny73: Little jimmy osmond - long haired lover from liverpool. Me: The Sweet - Blockbuster shirty5: Slade - Cum On Feel The Noize Clearly there was something in the water in SE7 in spring and summer 1972
Call out the instigators Because there's something in the air We've got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right And you know that it's right
That single is so evocative, well for me anyway...... I remember it being No 1 and going to Goldsmiths Art college, along with allright now by free the two best No1s for me....... but of course as a hippy type, only really bought LP's....... 'man'. Poor Jimmy McCullogh talented guy, died too young.
Aunty Milly ran willy nilly When her legs they did recede So they looked on medicinal compound Now they call her milipede
Jennifer Eccles, had terrible freckles And the boys all called her names But they gave her medicinal compound Now he joins in all the games
We'll drink a drink a drink To lily the pink the pink the pink The saviour of our human race For she invented, medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case

I was actually conceived on the beach in Weston-Super-Mare (
Just noticed today actually that my birth song was adapted into one of my favorite Charlton ditties. Omen or what?!?
Just missed out on Bright Eyes and I Don't Like Mondays. Either of which I would have preferred.
Nothing wrong with Blondie. Total goddess in her heyday and an awesome band. They inspired so many female artists in later years.
All true. But I like Bright Eyes.
I don't. At school we had to sing the hits of the decades for the school's 50th birthday. I had to do the 80s, which meant singing Bright Eyes dressed as as a rabbit. Scarred.
I didn't know Simon Le Bon (right) was in The Shadows
You speak with 'fork' tongue Pilchard?..... Simon's dad worked as a stand in for one of the shadows ?...... but had to leave the band under a bit of a cloud?..... Some say he had a bright future, but his name 'sherbert bon bon ' sucked?......

I do feel old :-(
Not as old as you've just made me feel!
I worked with Mike Cole, the bassist of Mungo Jerry, just a few years after that.

They dont make them like this anymore:
