1,3,5,9, and 10 are correct by shooter 4 is correct by cobalt and Mr. Plow made a good guess on 8 because he is right
oh BTW can anybody tell me what was the WORST number one single according to disc jockeys who were around at that time
actually there was a top 10 and I dont remember them in order biut some of them were Half Breed Kung Fu Fighting My Ding a Ling was there Falco was ther Candy Man lovin you by Minnie Ripperton was there Boogie Fever the singing nun 96 tears was there and rounding out the top 10 was Tighten Up
Half Breed - meh Kung Fu Fighting - I thought this one was a lot of fun My Ding a Ling was there - bad but not offensive Falco was ther - for a novelty it was ok Candy Man - SDJ? Or something else? lovin you by Minnie Ripperton was there - To quote Bugs Bunny: "AAAAA-gooooo- NYYYYY!" Boogie Fever - meh the singing nun - dunno this one but it can't be good 96 tears - it was ok Tighten Up - that's really bad When I worked at PEP (my first factory job for non-locals) the radio was busted so they played cassette tapes over the intercom. One of them featured both "Tighten Up" and "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and after hearing those repeated 2 or 3 times in an eight hour shift every night for months, words can't describe the loathing.
