Survived the three and a half minutes of audio torture at #39 and now can enjoy the rest of the show--love this era of music, mostly! "Class...? Class...? SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!" Wait, wrong record. It's interesting that Whitburn tagged a "novelty" label on "Basketball Jones" by Cheech & Chong, and categorized their other two Top 40 hits as "comedy." Obviously, the comedic spoken word portions helped make that distinction. Just curious if anyone has compiled a list of all Top 40 entries from the 70s into Whitburn's assigned genres of instrumental, novelty, comedy, spoken word and foreign language. And a similar list from the 80s would be a really insightful comparison of changes in record buying and radio airplay.

I'm curious---do you also consider that week's #1 song by Mr. Anka audio torture? We all know LOTS of people would describe it as such. (And, yes, I agree with you on #39. The Alice Bowie part is mildly amusing, but the father/son spoken segment is obnoxious and disturbing.) No, never minded any of the Anka (or Anka/Coates) '70s hits, then or now.

There's a distinct 'buzz' in KLFM's normally-decent stream tonight.

Regarding "You're Having My Baby" by Paul Anka,He recieved the "Keep Her In Her Place Award" from NOW (National Organization Of Women) in 1974-NOW pretty much branded Anka a male chauvinist pig-To appease the feminists,Anka changed the title to "You're Having Our Baby" when he performed it in concert.

Looking forward to next week's show from 9/5/70-It'll be great to hear "Rubber Duckie" which is a certifiable guilty pleasure.

Goof of the Week: Casey said Joni's "Help Me" got to #10. It actually peaked at #7. Maybe he meant to say "got to the Top Ten"?

Wrong chart peak position given for the first hour extra: "Jazzman" almost became Carole King's second #1 single, peaking at #2, not #9 as stated. As a legendary NYC deejay used to say whenever he played it: "And now Carole King sings to her bra!" (Lift me, won't you lift me...)

I think you're referring to the late Dan Ingram on WABC.

"The world is coming to an end, I don't even care As long as I can have my limo and my orange hair" Casey quoting the lyrics of Alice Bowie... priceless!

Does anyone know which stations, if any, will be airing the bonus show, #1 Hits of the 1970s Part 6, this weekend? I'm wondering the same thing - especially if any stations will be playing the four-hour version. (I'm thinking that many stations will be doing this on Monday, so as not to pre-empt the regular weekly show).
