Rooney's been in the lead for most of the season but there are three of us just about near enough to still catch up if we have two good weeks.

12th - 18th May 1966 13. Wild Thing - The Troggs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtJyfRCW3Ng A first hit for the English band is a cover of a song by The Wild Ones. I like the guitar riff and the way it slows down a couple of times. It will go all the way to number 2 and will top the Billboard chart. Listening to it will always bring to mind the Goodies' version which they performed on their TV show. 23. Hey Girl - The Small Faces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pg_UjueB7I There's quite a raw sound to this which I think would be similar to way it would sound live so not too difficult for their manager Don Arden, who is on production duties for the first time, to put together. He will go on to manage The Move and ELO. It was OK, plenty of energy to it. 26. Promises - Ken Dodd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AK2PDmf1z8 Another old fashioned song from Ken which will be the last of his four top 10 hits. 32. Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 & 35 - Bob Dylan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm-po_FUmvM This was recorded in one take and has a deliberately casual, informal sound to it. All of the musicians sound like they are enjoying themselves. 36. I Feel A Cry Coming On - Hank Locklin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU3VEIxoQ-Q Four years after his last top 40 hit, Hank is back with another of his country songs which is fine enough for anyone who likes that particular genre. 39. You Can't Sit Down - The Phil Upchurch Combo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdXISHqSV5w A four minute instrumental split across the two sides of the single. This would a good record to play if you were hosting a party in the 60s, it would get everyone on their feet which, I assume, is why it's called You Can't Sit Down. The guitars, saxophone and organ all play their parts well. 40. Strangers In The Night - Frank Sinatra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sek1vLw3s20 Frank's first top 10 hit since 1959 and his first number 1 single since 1954. He sings it well, backed by exuberant orchestration. The song will win three Grammys. Record of the week : 31. Monday Monday - The Mamas And The Papas This might explain why California Dreamin' only got as high as number 23 if the Mamas and Papas had two singles in the UK shops at the same time. They now have the honour of being the first act to have the record of the week in two consecutive weeks. I don't like Monday Monday as much as California Dreamin' but it's still the highlight from this week. Once again, the male and female vocals intertwine perfectly and I like the flourishes from the string section. The single will spend two weeks at number 3.

Thanks, and well done John on today's double 39. Round 1: 30 The year, Space Round 2: 30 Oasis, If I Told You That 3 in 10: 3 Ghost Town, Free Nelson Mandela, Too Much Too Young

This is the updated league table after 13 contests. Dandy makes up the 9 point gap to Addy, who didn't score any points, and is now the new leader. Jim was 6 points behind Dobbo but they are now tied in 3rd place. With a gap of 21 points to 5th place, it will take some time for anyone else to make it into the top 4. 1. (2) 73 dandy* 2.

A shame that Travelers just missed out there but congratulations to Dandy on winning with a great song from the Human League. Thanks to Chez for a fantastic job hosting this contest and doing a commentary for each entry with all the interesting facts. A poor result for my own entry this time, I'll try to do better in three months time.

What a close finish this has turned out to be!

Thanks to Suedehead and Severin for both giving 8 points to my song. It doesn't look like the squirrel picture on the opening post was a clue to Dear God being the winning song but it's still doing quite well.

For 1992, I didn't what to pick anything that everyone would have immediately guessed was my entry so I picked something a bit different and would at least sound like it was from the early 90s. This hasn't gone too well for me so far but I see while I'm typing this that the song gets 12 points from Nine & 3/4 so thanks for that top score. I would have been more at home with the 70s or 80s.

That was a great discovery from 1964.
