M10 show week 82

 

Well, we're happy to be back!  How you doin', buddy?

Elvis:  Ah'm dead, thanks!  How's Misty bug?

Far better than last week at this point! She's got a long way to go towards stamina, but that'll come soon enough.  Anyway, this week we're back to the usuals, with one new top 10 debut (though you got a link to it last week on the top 15), and a new #1, and an almost spanking-new top three! Let's start out with returning to the Song I Wouldn't Turn Off/Outside the US charts for this week in... 1967!

Ah, 1967!   I married Priscilla that year...

I entered kindergarten that year!  So, let's take a look at the charts in Canada and Australia this week, shall we?

Canada's #1was the Monkees and Pleasant Valley Sunday, which sat at #3 on Cashbox this week; In Australia, we had the same #1 as here- the Beatles and All You Need Is Love....

I 'spect we're gonna hear a lot of the Beatles from here on...

Oh, quit crying, you'll have your moments in the sun once we go back past 1963...

But that's like a month away!

Gee, and you figured that out all on your own, I'm so proud!  Now, as for the song I wouldn't turn off, I came up with the usual list of 7 this time, whittled it down to three, and here we go...

Third is the song at #27 this week- it would peak at #13 here and in Canada, but didn't chart in Australia- Janis Ian with Society's Child....

Second is the song at #10 this week- a song that hit #1 in both our friends as well as 15 other countries, but peaked at #5 here- Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade Of Pale...

And at the top, the song at #34 here, peaking at 3 here and 5 in Canada (geez, kinda left Australia out this week!)...

...Bobby Vee and Come Back When You Grow Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna try to make it up to Australia here, Bud, can you play the debut?

Sure!  This is Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfie, and his band Mammoth WVH, comin' in at #9...

 

********************************************** 

So, didja find whatcha wanted?

No, not really.  The best I could do is get ahold of a local chart for Perth... but, let's look at their top ten:

10 was Scott McKenzie's San Francisco- a song that certainly wouldn't apply these days- a song that was on its way out at 76 this week...

9 was Petula Clark's Don't Sleep In The Subway, which was charting here last month...

8- was Sandy Posey's I Take It Back, which was on it's way out here at 31...

7- was the Kinks and Mister Pleasant, which only managed a #80 peak in the States, despite Billboard calling it "top 20 material"...

6 was Johnny Rivers with Tracks Of My Tears, which charted here last month...

5 was the Easybeats with Heaven Or Hell, a tune that managed only a #92 here...

4 was Slim Whitman's China Doll, which wasn't released here, but did make the UK charts... in 1952 (?)...

3- was Whiter Shade Of Pale...

2- was Dean Martin with In The Chapel In The Moonlight, which peaked at #30 here two weeks ago...

And of course, All You Need Is Love at the top.

Of course.  Howsa 'bout we get to yer M10 an' call it a day?

What, you got a date?

Yeah, her name is, 'The Heck with the Beatles'!

All right, sourpuss, hit the M10...

10- Buck Meek an' Haunted Mountain slips 6...

8- Also slippin' 6 is Bakar's Hell N Back- now tied for 2nd all time on the Summer song list...

7- up one fer the Guess Who an' Across The Line...

6- up 3 fer Cafune's Demise...

5- up one fer Jason Aldean's Try That In A Small Town...

4- Last week's #1, MAGS with Destroyer...

3- up 4, Mikaela Davis an' Far From You...

2- up from 10 last week, Bethany Cosentino an' Easy...

An' our new top dog, up from #3...
