Joe, you are guilty as charged. "The Boy From Ipanema" is a pardonable offense, but Schwarzenegger would never show clemency for "My Girl Bill."

BTW thanks for the years and chart rankings, as always.

There will be a long pause as I peel myself up off of the floor. Outstanding!

I would love to see a mix grouping the ilk of "My Girl Bill"! And wasn't Jim Stafford married to that hot Bobbie Gentry?

That's right Steve, Bobbie Gentry, after making a name for herself with Ode to Billie Jo, followed by 10 more songs in the top 100 (1967-76), married Jim Stafford on 10/15/78. She no doubt liked his sense of humor and originality, but they eventually divorced. I'd love to do a mix of songs in the ilk of "My Girl Bill", but that would require quite a bit of research (since his style isn't too prevalent) but I'd like to try sometime.

As one of the undisputed masters of AOTM, you have outdone yourself yet again, RetroJoe. You even manage to make a standard guilty pleasure mix into something of eye-opening brilliance. I mean, the combination of songs here is just odd and irresistibly pleasurable enough to make me envious that I could never think of doing this myself. Plus, best of all, track 1, Reunion: I've been heralding what a great (albeit, yeah, silly) song this is for years but nobody ever knows what I'm talking about. This is just too cool. Fantastic job as usual, sir

Fun stuff!

we've all got 'em and there's a lot to like on here RetroJoe!

'Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak', sang Thin Lizzy in 1976, 'somewhere in this town'. Well, I'm guessing it's going to be at the prison.
