3 #1's inspired by game: ray stevens, cw mccall - convoy, pacman fever... (i hope this is right?) (will update later) Inspired by fads. Streaking and CB radio weren't games. Well, maybe streaking could be considered one... The other fad-inspired #1 was 1974's "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, from late '74. Interesting that all three came out in '74/'75.

Second time recently WPNC has gone with the later-80's choice on an A/B weekend when the A was an early 80's choice. Two weeks ago they went with 1987 (B) instead of 1981 (A)

WFRO is playing the usual B show offering, 4-20-1985. I've been in Northwest Ohio to listened to WFRO on the actual radio. If you listen to WFRO over the air, the show will last the 4 hours. The online feed cuts down on the commercials and usually runs 3 hours 45 minutes.

Casey noted that some other songs were inspired by crazes such as “surfing or disco” but we didn’t really think of them as fads since as he said they were here to stay. Interesting he should have said that of disco in the early 1980s when it was a four letter word to so many—though there will always be music reflecting a desire to dance and party, whatever it’s called.

1988 - "Don't Be Cruel" - One by Bobby Brown, another by Cheap Trick 1990 - "Hold On" - One by Wilson Phillips, another by En Vogue Shadoe would have at least one more of this after 1990 - two "Dreams" in 1994, by Gabrielle and The Cranberries. Also sharing chart space with a "Dream on Dreamer" (Brand New Heavies) for good measure. Didn't happen on CT40 as the two "Dreams" had a little over a month between chart runs there. Bringing it back up as I'm listening to the week The Cranberries debuted (4/16/94), don't think this one got mentioned.

That teeth LDD though..... I've never had braces, but from what I've heard about getting them tightened, Melanie in Vermont must have been something of a masochist if she actually looked forward to and enjoyed that. (Song requested: the Beatles' "Come Together".)

(Song requested: the Beatles' "Come Together".) I never looked forward to going to the dentist and I hated it even more when I had braces. I don’t know what Melanie’s deal was. Every time I came back from the Orthodontist my teeth were killing me.

Both songs were a week away from the countdown.

For the week of April 29 I predict 4/30/83. It's been a 3 month drought for '83 so it's time.
