  2. Have a good holiday, Jade. Round 1: 36 Living In A Box Round 2: 33 Wigan's Chosen Few (I went for the other one, Wigan's Ovation) 3 in 10: 3 I Feel You, Insania, Mysterious Girl
  3. 26th August - 1st September 1965 19. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwOfCgkyEj0 Clocking in at more than six minutes, this will have an impact on how long a single can actually be. The parts on the Hammond organ are the highlight for me along with the harmonica and guitars. I'm still not a fan of his vocal delivery so this 'Rolling Stone' all time poll topper isn't my record of the week. 27. The Time In Between - Cliff Richard and The Shadows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAcyHB8oYaY After Cliff's last single broke his run of top 10 hits, this will do even worse, giving him his lowest chart peak so far at number 22. It's pleasant enough, though, with a Latin American style rhythm to it. 32. Laugh At Me - Sonny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PcfDSPQFD0 The third week in a row we have a new entry by Sonny or Cher or both. I liked the use of the tubular bells while the vocal style is very Dylan-esque. It will turn out to be Sonny's only solo hit. 39. Paradise - Frank Ifield https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZdObIefd08 This sounds very outdated in 1965, his unmistakeable yodelling style is still present. 40. Il Silenzio - Nini Rosso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uPeKFkSUWI The best discovery of the week, this trumpet led tune from Italy is wonderful, it's not quite an instrumental, there's a spoken word section in the middle. It will reach number 8 and sell 10 million copies worldwide. Record of the week : 15. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones One of my favourite songs by this band with its notable guitar riff and rebellious lyrics. It will be the Stones' fourth consecutive number 1, spending two weeks at the top of the chart, and also their first US number 1 single.
  4. Sorry, Wardy, Rolloland is still on a hiatus.
  5. 39s for everyone today. Round 1: 33 The Supremes Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 3 Oops I Did It Again, Baby One More Time, Toxic
  6. Yes, I did think of removing the commas from the U2 song. 😃
  7. I've been doing a Countdown style numbers puzzle to try to get 10538 Overture by ELO to its peak position of 9. It took me a while but I've done it: 3 x 8 = 24 -5 = 19 -10 = 9
  8. My favourites would be: A Girl Like You, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, I'm Only Sleeping, Just and Another Cup Of Coffee.
  9. Round 1: 36 Curtis Stigers Round 2: 36 For Always 3 in 10: 3 The Boy In The Bubble, You Can Call Me Al, Mother And Child Reunion
  10. Round 1: 30 The year, Daydream Round 2: 36 Come To Me 3 in 10: 3 Hold Me Now, We Are Detective, You Take Me Up
  11. That last batch is full of good songs. Antmusic and Love On The Rocks are my favourite songs by those two artists and Stop The Cavalry is always welcome to hear every Christmas. I have a copy of the Flash Gordon soundtrack album, the 'Flash' single doesn't appear on it in the same form as it's made up from different tracks, most of which include spoken parts by the cast, but it still works on its own. Don't Walk Away by ELO is fairly unique in that it has two different choruses. The part after the first verse has the song title repeated a few times so could be interpreted as the chorus but the next section could also be called a chorus. Both melodies are used again after the second verse. AI is telling me the third part is the chorus but a lyrics website says the second part is the chorus and the third part is the post chorus. I was able to send an email to Jeff Lynne recently, his management gave out an address to send him messages as he was unable to complete his farewell tour and was recuperating at home. They said he would read every email. If he receives thousands of them, I'm not convinced he will read every one but I would like to hope that he might get round to reading mine.
