I Love #1's - 1972

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

A surprise victory for White Town saw Your Woman achieve 37 ticks last week, making it your favourite No.1 of 1997, whilst Tori, Hanson and the Spice Lasses could only muster 32 each. Elton and his windy candle brought up the rear with a solitary tick. This week we have Dutch painters, Mary Whitehouse-offending metaphors and glam-rock in full swing - it's 1972!

As I was but a glint in my parents' eye at this stage, I must ask for clarification: how did everyone in the playground not go "hur hur hur" at My Ding A Ling for YEARS afterwards? How did it ever even get released? HOW?

The main torture was school assembly where everyone would stare while they sang. I used to hate my name.

haha I wouldn't blame the Dragoon Guards for that, though* - it's Judy Collins you should be directing yr ire at.

(*in fact, somebody attempting to imitate a buncha bagpipers vocally would've been quite a spectacle I imagine!).
