  1. Probably because it puts the patients into a state of catatonic shock, without the dentist having to use laughing gas. đź’¨

  2. Factoid: Terry Jacks and Susan Pesklevits (later Susan Jacks) were both Canadian songwriters and performers, and had the unlikely distinction of being the only Canadian artists to both have chart-topping albums in the same year. Both albums were released in 1973 after Susan had left the marriage. Weird coincidence.

  3. Technically, "Funky Town" belongs to the 1970's, since it was first released in March 1980. The 1980's didn't officially begin (calendarwise) until January 1, 1981. Just as the 90's didn't officially begin until January 1, 1991. Great song, though.

  4. Rick, can’t believe you overlooked “Yellow River,” which was a 1970 international #1 hit song by the British group Christie. The song was written by the leader of the group, Jeff Christie, and was first offered to The Tremeloes, who recorded it with the intention of releasing it as a single early in 1970. However, considering it too pop-oriented for their future direction, they decided to go with another of their own compositions, and returned the song to Christie. Producer Mike Smith therefore took the Tremeloes’ vocals off the recording and added Jeff Christie's. Released on 23 April 1970, it became an international hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart for one week in June 1970. In the US, it only reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. But it reached #1 in the UK, Ireland, Finland and Norway; also #2 in Germany. Years later, the Tremeloes admitted that was their biggest career mistake ever, as the song hit #1 in 26 countries that year, selling in excess of 20 million records, and netting 10 gold discs and many other accolades. “Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose, tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin' underneath the moon at Yellow River…” Yellow River

  5. What?! You totally missed "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by the Greg Kihn Band, released in May 1981.
