What a week! Shout out to the Southern Rockers on the list, Skynyrd and Wet Willie.
For me, the top five from that week are:
1. You haven’t done nothin’
2. Sweet Home Alabama
3. I shot the sheriff
4. Keep on Smiling
5. Hmm. I’m still thinking
My number 5 is a tie between “Tell Me Something Good” and “Please Come to Boston.”
Not a bad list..
Lots of good choices in this list. I see you lightened up on the Donny & Marie duo with a “D”. 😉
Yes I must have been in a good mood at the moment!
🙂
Paul Anka just stands out like a sore thumb…even the title makes me cringe.
Hope you and your wife’s travels went well today Hans.
Anka should have just written My Way and The Tonight Show theme and retired…..made it home last night!
