I love that the montage has "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" played backwards!

Listening to the countdown now and I have to say that Think's "Once You Understand" has got to be one of the worst songs ever!

Just listened to 12/15/73--I would offer the same opinion about the DeFranco Family's "Heartbeat - It's a Lovebeat". I get it--it was a teenybopper type hit in the same vein as the Osmonds (the Canadian version of a Jackson 5 knockoff perhaps?), but what an annoying song with annoying lyrics. Mostly it sounded like they were trying way too hard. |

I kind of like the DeFranco Family song; it is pretty obviously an Osmonds knockoff (lead singer Tony DeFranco not coincidentally even looked a lot like Donny Osmond), but it's catchy. "Once You Understand", however, is awful. It isn't even really a song, but sounds more like a bunch of excerpts from a very bad proto-Afterschool Special with a tear-jerking ending, with an annoying one-line chorus chanted near-robotically in the background. |

Exactly, the song is just horribly "acted". Melodramatic story songs were nothing new, but Understand is just really really bad. This obviously wasn't the first time I'd heard the song, but alongside the songs on the chart it just stands out as being amazingly bad. |

I had to laugh during this weeks show, Donny And Marie were on the chart with Ain't Nothin Like The Real Thing which is a remake. I just wonder if anyone pointed out the irony to them.

My point was that they are singing a song called Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing which was a remake, clearly it ain't the real thing. |
