I wouldn't have predicted that one for you as high as #28
A prediction! But no points. But a good opportunity for a final reminder.
When I started this thread I mentioned that I had a new #1 song and some changes in the order. I will also add that there is also one new addition to the Top 20 and of course one song that dropped off. So can you guess:
- For 1 point, my new #1 song? For a bonus point, what position my old #1 ("Bohemian Rhapsody") now sits?
- For 2 points, can you name the new song added to the Top 20? Hint: This song was discussed subsequently in the Top 20 thread. For a bonus point, can you guess the position?
- For 1 point, name the song that fell out of the Top 20. For a bonus point, what position does it occupy?
I will neither confirm or deny your guesses as I don't want to spoil the excitement of seeing if you are right. First guess gets the points. And exactly as mentioned on "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the points mean nothing. I have
@sadchild's guesses. Anybody want to play with him? Or will we just see how many points he gets?
26, The Weight - The Band
I never knew this band was Canadian. And I really didn't pay this song much heed until I heard it at my work's 150th birthday "party" a couple of years ago. With the party atmosphere on a sunny day, an extended lunch hour and the announcement of everybody getting their birthday off for that year as an added gift, the elements were right for noticing the music. This was one of the songs played and it quickly became part of my iTunes library with the ***** rating. And now here it is.
25. Della and the Dealer - Hoyt Axton
This song came from a WKRP episode. Hoyt plays a hillbilly from West Virginia who is coming to marry Jennifer. But of course he really looking for a music audition as he is an aspiring country singer. This is the song he does eventually for the demo. Only WKRP episode that uses another song for its closing credits. When I saw this in 1979 I thought he was just an actor and this wasn't a real song. When I watched the DVD collection several years ago I googled and found out he was a real country singer. And the song was available in iTunes (along with one of the other ones he plays a sample of on the show). They became a part of my library and this one was *****. Good story song too. And here it is.
24. Tragedy - The Bee Gees
I love the synth sounds on this one. Good beat (of course) too.
