I'd forgotten how gloriously cheesy "Indiana Wants Me" was, complete with cheapo siren and megaphone sound effects. AT40 faded it before the ending 'shootout', though. "If a man ever needed dyin' he did"---now there's a classic line! If it had come out a few years later it would've probably been turned into a made-for-TV movie on ABC starring Burt Convy and Joyce Bulifant! The shootout is only in the LP version. The single version didn't have the shootout.

Milwaukee's Oldies 95.7 FM's website says that next week's show is from 1976... will it be 10/9/76 which was last played three years ago, or 10/16/76 which would be a new show?
FWIW, if 10/9/76 is the show, the optional extras played were from Alice Cooper, Boston and Marilyn McCoo/Billy Davis Jr. If it's 10/16/76, we will hear Rick Dees and "Disco Duck " at #1.

Enjoying the vocals of lead singer "Frankie Spinelli" on Dawn's Candida at #3 on AT40. That was hilarious -- and either a total mistake or else a very short-lived alias for Mr. Orlando (if you Google "Frankie Spinelli Tony Orlando" nothing comes up). Perhaps Mr. Spinelli can be found on this 45 sleeve? bit.ly/1rY6VJ5(Of course, as Tony Orlando's involvement in Candida was supposed to be a secret, who knows what stories got put out.)

That picture sleeve is hilarious! None of those guys looks like Tony Orlando, let alone the obviously female backup singers.

No. Just no.

I highly doubt that. Casey said Dawn was a three man, two woman group on the show. I also think the AT40 staff was getting fed tons of inconsistencies about them because on the show for the 1/30/1971 chart when "Knock Three Times" was on top, Casey identified Dawn as a six man group from Philadelphia!

Couldn't find any of the stations to listen to the '75 program. Thank God for YouTube. I was able to listen to all of 'em, except Dawn's cover of 'You're all I need to get by.' 39 outta 40 ain't bad!

Hervard (Chris), don't you LIKE the Donald Duck-type voice? It's funny!

No. Just no. Whatever one thinks of "Disco Duck", playing that show, preferably next week, would have made more sense IMO. It's been only four weeks since Premiere's last 1976 countdown, and just three years ago they played this same one. The dancing duck does have animal kingdom counterparts in this show from muskrats and blue oysters. It ends with a healthy fruit smoothie made of wild cherries and a big apple.

In the 9/27/75 show, Casey said that "Beer Barrel Polka" hit #1 in 1939 for Will Glahe. This makes me wonder where he was getting his chart data from, as in the same show he only went back to 1940 in citing Bing Crosby as the artist with the most top 10 hits (if the 1930s are included, Bing had a LOT more hits.) Joel Whitburn's "Pop Memories" was still over a decade in the future at that point; maybe he was thinking of "Your Hit Parade" or something?

Pretty sure that the 'official' Billboard record charts only go back to 1940.
