poptimistsLast week we reached consensus that Madge's ghey dancing anthem was the best #1 of 1990 with 40 ticks, narrowly beating Snap by 1 vote! But what about 40 years ago?

We need to do a thread about the greatest songs ever with parentheses in their titles.

Date: 2006-07-04 12:10 pm (UTC)Is this the only year where father and daughter have both had separate number ones? Are there any famous mother-son singing partnerships, cos I can't think of any?

Date: 2006-07-04 12:22 pm (UTC)I have taken a Lexian attitude that Nancy Sinatra wasn't a proper Sinatra, because she was good.
