There’s a decent amount of ’70’s this week. Enjoy!

Monday: The producer of the original asked if the song was “dumb enough” because he wanted to appeal to teens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1nTfgUbW48

Friday: It was recorded on a yacht in the Virgin Islands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k_4qvMU6kQ

#1’s @ Noon: 11/18-22

Hope you had a great week. Let’s revisit our top songs.

Monday: Originally released in the UK as European Queen, it went nowhere. They changed the title, released it in the US and it went to #1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxX2gA18grk

Tuesday: One an extrovert; the other an introvert. It worked for a long time. Now…not so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsntlJZ9h1U

Wednesday: This was originally planned as a rap song. I’m delighted they changed their minds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3j2NYZ8FKs

Thursday: This is from the first record that the artist and producer worked together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jtAg8_ltDEo

Friday: This #1 song is from the #1 album simultaneously in the UK and US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbI_awR4CKE

Good luck to those hunters hitting the woods!
