Unfortunately,you'll never hear that song on a station that programs an oldies/greatest hits format.

The question I've had about this record; who was buying it in such volume that it made the top ten? Certainly not the same age group that was buying Beatles, Supremes, Doors, et al; unless they needed it to demonstrate to others how insulting it was. It did nothing to heal the generation gap...actually it probably did more to widen it! There, most likely, were members of the older generation who bought a record or two. Just a year earlier "Ballad Of The Green Berets" was a huge hit. That record could spark some healthy dialogue. Four years later, in 1971, came the record "Once You Understand" by Think. That's one that over the years has become known as a laughable farce. Nothing laughable though about Mr. Lundberg.

Calley" by C Company featuring Terry Nelson in 1971, enough to push that piece of junk onto the Hot 100 at #41. But evidently its further appeal was limited as it only got to #36. I heard the Lundberg record on the 60s Satellite Survey on SXM 6 last year. An interesting period piece, though not in a good way IMO. |

The worst line in the record: "Your mother will love you no matter you do, because she is a woman."
Good god, Lundberg! Were you deliberately trying to sound like your head was up your tush?
