Sorry. For 1978 songs, it was more of a challenge not to come up with the correct answers.georgespelvin wrote:Rex, has someone hacked into your account? I half expect to see your avatar change back to Jack Nicholson from "The Shining" again.

Graduating from high school, combined with a growing interest in the punk scene, apparently meant I wasn't paying much attention to top hits.

Re: 1970s Song Title Quiz
Better late than never--1979
Each answer made Billboard Magazine's year end list of the Hot 100 songs of 1979. If you need a clue, the spoiler space contains the artist that sang the song.
1979
1. This organization was founded in London by George Williams exactly 100 years before D-Day to promote a healthy body, mind and spirit.
2. Divided by Wilshire Boulevard, this place has a lake, a bandshell, soccer fields and a playground, but apparently not a refrigerator or storage cabinets.
3. Possible reason given by a romantic to break up a relationship.
4. Jimmy the Greek for example
5. Possible Tea Party periodical headline reporting on an Obama campaign trip to Atlanta.
6. Despite his name, soul singer Percy would not have fit in with this song and its singers, but a baseball team found success with it.
7. Mouse mascot from a restaurant (yes, I know that raises nasty board of health connotations) after being shot by Cupid's arrow.
8. Dr. Who probably travels through here.
9. Better see an eye doctor for this.
10. After writing 100 of these, I've reached the point of taking the advice of this No. 1 song title. I hope that you had joy, you had fun, you had seasons in the sun (no, that song is from 1974, it's not this one).
