Here's a sticky suggestion for a theme: Bubble-Gum. Those tunes made for mental mastication, with varying degrees of dental caries thrown in. Candidates: "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" - original by Steam only (whatever made the Dave Clark 5 think this was a good thing to cover?) , and "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" - Manfred Mann, who should have stuck to Eskimos. You could replace the banished Monkees with The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" and nod to family-friendly 'gum with the Cowsills' version of "Hair." Enjoy! **((pop))** I second the Squirrel: even if the perpetrator is named on the air, I rarely know the song title to go with it.

At first (actually the first few times I heard it) I said to myself: "What is this? They're only playing snatches of songs, and what are they saying about them? It goes by so quickly!" But the more I listened I became aligned with the pace/tempo/beat of it, and was able to discern the themes of the shows, and the decades of reference. (I'm 56 years old--almost 57, so I've been around for a lot of that stuff!)/Don't have any brilliant ideas, but your reference to top hits of past decades got me wondering when were the earliest chartings of record sales? Were they doing that in the 1920s, 30s & 40s? I wonder if it began with the sales of 45s? But then I recall Duke Ellington had a hit without even realizing until he got a royalty check, as the Ink Spots (or some group like that) had recorded one of his songs and it took off. So charting was being done for awhile...right? Thanks again for your great show! Jeff Keith Love your show, and now look forward to it each week (and the reruns/repeats, too!).
