    Love Mr Blue Sky :D Slight mistake with Bob Marley on the captions there tho, a #21 hit being credited as hitting, erm, number 1!

    Jilted John could say "bitch" on TOTP! I got in enormous trouble for saying that to a classmate in this very year, yet he was allowed...and slag, it's not fair! :(

    Definitely "too much" of this Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams duet is being played for my liking.

    I bought the Jilted John single on the strength of John Peel playing it all the time. I loved the other side 'Going Steady' too. I was shocked when months later, after it had been out for ages, it suddenly became a hit.

    Both sides of this single had a huge influence (bigger than I realised in retrospect) on my own forays into music...

    Never mind the song, what a great voice Denice Williams had.
