Music Trivia: AT40 4 Mar 1972
8 March 2008 - 2 אדר ב' 5768 by Huw
Here we go again with some Pop Music Trivia. I gleaned these listening to American Top 40 on XMRadio’s 70s station.
As always, here’s lyrics - and if I think the song is too popular there are fewer words quoted to make it harder - which means #2 is, I think, rather hard. Name the song and artist. Answers will appear on Monday night.
1) a fly with a buzz and a sky with no clouds
2) Aye no. Oh. Ma. Ma. Ma!
Baby. Darling. Diga me. Ah!
No. No. No. Noooo!
Soi. Soi! Soi! (Ugggggg!)
AHhhhhhhhhaaaaaa. Ahhhhhhhhaaaaa. (Mmmmmm.)
3) Headed for Las Vegas, only made it out to Needles.
4) Don’t shed a tear for me / That’s not your style
5) People never stay the same forever.
Somebody always loves a little more.
6) the course of a lifetime runs over and over again
7) we were all in one place
8) When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me
In the #10 Spot: ) untamed youth that’s the truth with your cloak full of eagles
#9 Carole King Sweet Seasons
#8 Al Green Let’s Stay Together
#7 Neil Young Heart of Gold
#6 Robert John The Lion Sleeps tonight
#5 Bread Everything I Own
#4 The Osmonds Down by the Lazy River
#3 Climax Precious and Few
#2 The Carpenters Hurting Each other
And the Number one song for the week of March 4th, 1972 (based on Record Sales and Radio plays as compiled by Billboard Magazine) is…
“your face as you were leaving”
Another tough one, although this one had a lot more big hits.
1) A Horse With No Name/America
3) Never Been To Spain/Three Dog Night
6) Mother And Child Reunion/Paul Simon
7) The Day The Music Died/Don Maclean
10) Bang A Gong Get It On/T Rex
The number one song must have been Nillson’s cover of Without You.
Keep them coming! Love it
I think you’re right on those you guessed.
Answers will show up tomorrow night at 9pm (pre-posted already).
Anyone for Nos 2, 4, 5, 8, 9?
I would LOVE for someone to get #2…
