OK Guys and Ladies

Go after it ... and if we can, keep it international

Scott McKenzie - San Francisco
Norm Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
Thunderclap Newman - Something in the air

That's 3 to kick it off so get the brains ticking shall we ?

There's another one on my mind and I can't quite grasp it yet. I am close to climbing into the attic to find my old singles collection. This is an interesting thread, but I won't be happy until I remember the other song! Aaarrgghh.

 

[Mike d]

Take care with the search ... or better still, sleep on it It'll come to you

Ummmm Having been up in the attic to find Tell Him - Hello. I find they had another song which got to no 9 but I've never heard of it, so I'm saying it anyway (please don't say I have wasted my morning)

No way ... what is international to me might well be something different to you guys

Those are 2 of my favourite tunes from that era. I also love Ghost in my House by R Dean Taylor. I was gonna put that down but also had hit with Indiana Wants Me.
