I haven’t heard that Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep since I was like 7 years old — and I can’t believe I remembered it! You have uncovered it from deep, deep down in some primal, reptilian part of my brain.

I must have this song on my iPod. I MUST! 😛

I remember an ad for a K-Tel style collection of hit songs that was on every day for months when I was a kid…the “title song” of the collection was this bit o’ double-entendre cheese:

I discovered it here. Luckily for the person who posted it, I forgot their name. I only use this as a weapon to annoy people. But each time I drag it out, I have to suffer through it myself all over again.

I can still remember it - it was released by “Middle of the Road” out here. I wish I could remember other items like I can remember crap like that.

Damn you! Damn you to heck! :mad: I had forgotten all about that song, probably, like Ellen Cherry, haven’t heard it since I was a wee one.  
It’s stuck in my head and I need a cure!

_One Tin Soldier_, from the soundtrack to _Billy Jack_?

_Indian Reservation_, by Paul Revere and the Raiders?

**Maplekiwi** - I blame you for this. I went to another of PickettyWitch ([Baby I Won’t Let You Down](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ_oq-mv6D8&feature=related)) and the drummer looks the same.

I used to think that blonde singer was so hot.

Polly Brown - I love her voice.

I don’t remember that track so thanks for sharing.

OK from the best of 70s pop to one of the worst.
