Ah, my fellow Aquarian! On my birthday (February 10, 1973), it was “Crocodile Rock” by Elton John. In the US, anyway. On the British charts, it was “Blockbuster” by The Sweet. But I won’t acknowledge that one since I can’t remember the song. Is The Sweet the band that also originally did “Ballroom Blitz,” or is that another band with the same name?
