M10 show week #104

 

Elvis:  Okay, so that was a jolly trick ya played on me last week...

Oh, don't be sore.

I'm not... 'ceptin' my knees.  I'm too old ta be hidin' unner a desk that long!

Points for will power!  Anyway, here, you do today's show.

Can I have a co-host?  Like I do fer you?

Sure, have at it!

Hey, Noodle!  We're on!

N:  Sir, my name is Nardole: N-A-R...

E: We ain't got time fer that, my little billiard ball o' music!  Play the new song!

N:  Might I at least have a look at the set list... ah.  Coming in at #9, a gentleman whose real name is Skye Kothari, recording under the nom-de-plume of acloudyskye, with this week's sole new song on the M10....

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

E: Technically, ya did a great job.  personality-wise, son, yer dry as a September fart!

N: I fail to see what the month of the year has to do...

E:  Never mind that!  We gotta set the Wayback Machine ta 1966...

N: "Wayback Machine"? 

E:  Good grief, son, ya never watched Mr Peabody an' Sherman?

N: Er, I'm afraid not...

E:  Well, step back fer a minit, I got work ta do.  Go gimme a Nesbitt's Orange, while I...

N:  A which?

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

N:  I'll.... see what I can do...

E:  So's in 1966, The top single here wuz ... really?  On the week I do the show?  The Beatles an' We Can Work It Out.  The top rock in Australia wuz... really?  AGAIN?  The Beatles an' We Can Work It Out, with a double a-side a Day Tripper, which was #15 here by itself this week.  An' I suppose Canada had... nope, they had an outfit WE used ta call the Wrecking Crew, but on the label here they wuz the T-Bones, an' No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In, which started out as a Alka Seltzer commercial, haw!  It was #11 this week in the USA, an' hit #27 in Australia, which is kinda surprisin' considering what happens on the Song Chris Woul'na Turned Off.

N:  Sir, your Nesbitts...

E: God bless ya, son!  Now here, do this bit while I refresh...

N: (Sigh) Now Chris found 9 songs on this week's list of 1966.  He chops it down to 3- just why, I don't know- and here are the results:

Third on his list is a song that peaked at #1 here, #2 in Canada, and #3 in Australia- nicely symmetrical- Simon and Garfunkel's The Sounds Of Silence, #2 on this week's Cashbox chart.

Second, a song that was just coming onto the chart at #85 this week.  It would hit #1 here, and #7 in Canada, as well as number... well, that's odd, it didn't chart in Australia!  Anyway, it was The Mamas And The Papas with California Dreaming.

E: Son, loosen up.  Ya don' haveta capitalize "and the".

N: I thought we were trying to make the pretense of this being a live recorded show?

E: Just go on, boy!  An' he wonders why I call 'im, "Noodle".

N: And Chris's #1 song he wouldn't turn off- It had peaked at #3, and was at #21 this week.  In .. oh, wait, that's odd... Apparently it didn't chart in Australia OR Canada!

E: So that means ya better fetch 'em a video...

N:  Certainly!  Here are the Four Seasons...

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

E:  Not bad, little buddy!  That just leaves us with the rest a this week's M10... 

N: I suppose you'll be wanting me to do that...

E: Nah, September fart, remember?  Go see if the commisary has any more PBBs...
