Remember this one from 1977? Remember hearing it a lot back in the late 70s? Thought so...and heres why.... The song still gets played on every easy-listening radio station in the world today and perhaps forever. In 2010, Dan Hill lamented that this song has topped five million spins on radio and TV broadcasts, where the average hit is lucky to make it to a million. It doesnt help that in the 70s, #1 hits were in very tight rotation, making people get really sick of them in a hurry. The song also frequently makes worst song lists; for example, Pop Culture Madness puts it in the top-10 worst. Its usually ranked somewhere around Afternoon Delight and Seasons In The Sun. For all its detractors, the song also has some very passionate fans. Hill told this story: One time, a 300-lb. woman in a leather miniskirt sat on my lap at a bowling alley and refused to move until I sang the entire song.
