I'll be sure not to eat a Popeyes or Chick-A-Filet sandwich when hearing the first song.  But what if you just happen to be in the mood for it? Someone care to let me in on the inside joke? |

The lead off single on the countdown from 2/5/77 was a novelty song by a group called Henhouse Five Plus Two-It was a group of chickens clucking their version of Glenn Miller's "In The Mood".

Henhouse Five Plus Two was the brainchild of Ray Stevens.

Normally, I don't post to the 70s AT40 thread, but I'd like to ask a question regarding 1979 shows. At one point, only one show from April 1979 - I believe it was April 14 or 21, 1979 that aired, and nothing else from that month since. I'd like to ask, has Premiere aired any of the other April 1979 shows in recent years? I agree, April 1979 was one of only a few months in the 1970s tgat I would enjoy pre-1980s AT40. The lead off single on the countdown from 2/5/77 was a novelty song by a group called Henhouse Five Plus Two-It was a group of chickens clucking their version of Glenn Miller's "In The Mood". Casey did a report about this song and act on the May 28, 1988 broadcast, if I recall. Also featuring clips of the intro and last stanza - the latter before Casey closed out the report. Very surprising it made the top 40. |

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 4/14/79! |

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 2/6/71
2nd Guess - 2/10/79
Going with the same show for a second straight week. 1979 has to get played again before too long as well.

2/10/79 sounds good to me-If that show gets played,2/6/71 would likely be featured as well.

I hope it's 2/10/79 - that would be one of the shows never before heard in four-hour form (here in the states, anyway; that was the first show that had the first hour offered to international affiliates). This would also perfectly set up the yet-unplayed show from April 14, 1979 - which would, in turn, make still another unplayed show (June 23) likely (and then 8/18, which was a three-hour only show wouldn't be out of the question either, although I would imagine they'd go with 8/19/1972 that weekend - possibly with 8/18/1979 as a "B" option). |

Optional extras for 2/9/1974 back in 2013:
Hour #1: "Mockingbird" - Carly Simon & James Taylor
Hour #2: "Sunshine On My Shoulder" - John Denver
Hour #3: "She's Gone" - Daryl Hall & John Oates
"Fingertips (Part II)" will be included in the show BUT "I Want To Hold Your Hand" has been deleted.
^ That last part was quoted from page 733. Unsure if anything changes for this airing.
