Didn't the short baldy bloke from PhD (Jim Diamond I think) have another one hit on his own in 1984-ish? 'Should have known better' or some unutterable pish like that.

Speaking of unutterable pish, I ing hate that 'Get What You Give' cack by the New Radicals. They were neither new, nor radical, just crap. 'Old Rubbish' would have been a more appropriate name. What a stinking globule of fezzing cock-snot.

A record in the 70's called 'In Zaire'

Cozy Powell, Dance With the Devil

[AlexH]

J Geils Band - Centerfold.

Jim Diamond did do Should've Known Better, He also did "Hi Ho Silver" in 1986, from TV's "Boon."

Thin Lizzy had stacks of songs in the top twenty going right back to 1972 ("Whiskey in the Jar").

What about "Barbados" by Typically Tropical? As a keen plane spotter in the 70s I was impressed with the accuracy of the Air Traffic Control dialogue at the beginning and end of the record. I found out only recently that one of the members of the band was a qualified pilot so that explained it.

The 70s had more "big" one hit wonders than probably any other decade - does anyone remember "Float On" by the Floaters?


BA Robertson had a few top twenty entries besides "Bang Bang" - there was also "To Be or Not to Be" and "He Knocked it Off" which was a football related song. He also wrote Scotland's 1982 World Cup Squad song (which also featured John Gordon Sinclair).
