I'm surprised disappointed people appear to prefer Windsor Davies & Don Estelle over Quo (and also Lonely This Christmas over the far superior Tiger Feet).

Back from holiday too late to save Rubber Bullets

Obviously a minority opinion, but I love Tiger Feet personally (by far the best of the 3 Mud songs on here)

Parody songs are rarely amusing after more than one listen and this is an unfunny riff on a pretty dull record

Didn't expect this song killed as second! I would have predicted it as a song of the final 6 in this round tbh.

So what's the reason for this early killing beside that the song is awful? Did a member of the group something bad?

Parody songs are rarely amusing after more than one listen and this is an unfunny riff on a pretty dull record

 

Absolutely. With the one possible exception of 'Who the fuck is Alice?' which somehow manages to raise a smile for me regardless, even to the point where the original would too if it were ever played, as if you could ever hear it straight without supplanting the parody in your head anyway.

So what's the reason for this early killing beside that the song is awful? Did a member of the group something bad?


I think it’s purely because the song is absolute gash. I suppose it’s probably for the best that the megapaedo got killed off first though.

Status Quo - What did you expect you are asking for it.

 

Edit - Just listening to Bay City Rollers on Spotify and I may now have added all their songs on their greatest hits to my Spotify and i'm not sorry.

This is pure nostalgia

 

When I was about 5 I was obsessed with this song and it is one of the few singles we had in the house.

 

The same with Carl Douglas I had a pair of pyjamas with Chinese characters on (previously mentioned) which I got because of Kung Fu Fighting. I sulked when they were in the wash.

 

I am indulging myself in the early rounds. This selection will get brutal later on

8 Ray Stevens – The Streak -6

 

There are about 30 songs in this list I'd immediately score -6, if that were allowed. Two absolutely appalling years for number ones. I was a teenager then, and probably loved the Billy Connolly one though.
