This time Roger goes back to a month when one of the countries whose charts we cover was on the brink of war over a land with more sheep than people. The hits of the day included some Irish patronizing, romantic crime, a very cold breakup, music for slow-motion beach running, a song with lofty ambitions, and a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him a question.

Listen to this episode. You won't hate it.

Yes, the Old Man isn't flying solo for once, as he's invited music instructor and classically trained singer Lynda Quigg to join him on this look back at the hits from the very early end of my chart timeline. (Oh yeah, she's my wife as well). She provides a different and more technical perspective to this week's songs. Find out how the person hired to design one single's sleeve fell (felt?) flat on their face, whether Cass Elliot could have made it on Broadway, when "messy 70s" began, what British Invasion band was making "clown music," and whether a grizzled action star was suited to a big Hollywood musical.

Hear this one. It's gonna make your life so sweet.

Roger goes back 25 years to the heart of Titanic mania. While Jack and Rose were enjoying themselves in that old timey car, the charts featured jumpy fruit, stars gathering to promote public broadcasting, a song that includes 70s television in ideal romantic scenarios, one about making out with the weather, and one requesting an FBI investigation into a breakup.

This time Roger looks back to a time when over four dozen Americans were enjoying their regained freedom, and two of the decade's biggest TV dramas were making their debuts. On the charts, you had the national breakthrough of a local legend, a plea for some truly special education, some sexy sleuthing, an unremarkable booty call, a pop superstar going to the movies, and the personification of a musical element.

The search for the most odd and unique American Top 40 hit continues with the second first-round bracket. The songs here are about moms and dads and life and death and God and such. There are big names aplenty, along with the usual one hit wonders. But which 16 songs will move on?

This time Roger goes back to a time of heavy weather and heavy messages in sitcoms (don't make Doobie Brothers bootlegs, kids). On the charts, there were TWO songs about alien encounters, as well as an instrumental that doesn't really live up to either half of its title, a diss of the diminutive, a description of how Jamaican girls show out, and a song about a hot dance craze of 1790s Britain.

This time Roger goes back to Boxing Day 1992, when Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson were yelling at each other at a theater near you. Hits this week included a posthumous gem from a legend, a rock star dissing certain elements of his audience, a 90s icon in her first incarnation, an alt-rock cover of a song from an angsty 60s movie, an interesting trade proposal, and some budding R&B royalty. Also, "singing" wrestlers.

This time Roger goes back to the month Chevy Chase went overboard on his Christmas decorating. On the charts there was an ode to the Almighty, songs about birth and what leads to it, rock going rave, and a group that would soon take a lot of blame putting their own blame on precipitation.

Roger's way behind, but the push to catch up by the first days of 2023 begins in 1971. While America was crying for a football player, the charts contained a breakup mashup, a peace allegory from a Satanic source, a guitar genius, a calming poem, an ode to powerlessness, and a comedian's dairy-based Western ballad.

The Old Man's running behind, but he's starting his attempt to catch up with a look at the month that Montreal became the most infamous city in professional wrestling. On the charts, you had an electronic music innovator teaming with a rap legend, some Newfoundland optimism, an Aussie little sister, a confession of romantic crime, a soul loverman's breakthrough, and a critique of sellouts from a band that wouldn't take long to sell out themselves.
