Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
These 2 got lots of play in Canada or at least Saskatchewan.
You haven't heard high comedy until you've heard the Chipmunks' cover of 'My Sharona'.
They can really ruin wreck kill destroy ANNIHILATE a song, can't they.
I wonder how many of these haven't been heard on the VJ Big 40 yet. I assume most of them peaked at #40 for only one week, so each year there's a 1 in 10 shot that it will get played. If not, it has to wait another 51 weeks for another 1 in 10 shot.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
This song may have been heard on the VJ Big 40 but given it was on the July 4th week I bet money that it was not heard on a AT40 countdown due to them frequently doing 'special' countowns on the July 4th weekend.
@seasalt43 WOW! That's awesome thank you. Six #40's remain unaired...
@sadchild - You're welcome!
We can keep an eye out for the remaining six. Barbra Streisand and Steve Perry could pop up this year.
