I Love #1's - 1964

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last time, Marc Bolan and his dinosaurs topped the pops of 1971, with Get It On grabbing 29 ticks whilst poor old Mungo Jerry only got two. Onwards now, to a classic year for pop - moptops, boy bands and Cilla Black? It's 1964...

Hmm, the last texty box is a little leading, sorry about that! It should just mean "which one do you least like", as normal. I rly don't like Pretty Woman the film tho! The song is 'meh'.

Shocking behaviour, I blame the parents

In primary school we used to sing to the tune of Manfred Mann: 'do what daddy did to mommy to get me'. I had no idea what said words meant or that the song had ever been in the charts! I assumed that (like all songs on the Jive Bunny Megamix) it was as traditional as Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Beatles-opoly

'I Feel Fine' is definitely one of their best riffs ever. It's staggeringly good songwriting, 'Can't Buy Me Love' is like Scooch in comparison.

i like cilla's version of anyone who had a heart bcz she just BELLOWS -- as per usual -- and there's a really funny disconnect between the song's call for sensitivity and her delivery, she's like a little britain character

I'm going to go back and tick the Four Pennies now because while it's a bit drippy it's still better than Cilla.

Stop ticking Haus Of The Rising Sun! It's the worst song that everyone likes ever!

No, no, no! Why do people like 'You Really Got Me?' It is actually one of the ten worst songs EVER possibly. It's so boring it makes my eyes fall out and then there's that awful bit where they're ascending and they draw out the words and ARGH ARGH ARGH MY JUKEBOX HELL.

Actually I am not sure there are any songs by The Kinks that I like. Possibly due to the sheer terribleness of that one.
