Episode 65: The Week Ending December 10, 1977 Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, We Just Disagree

We all know a sentimental lady who is asking; “Isn’t it time you have a listen to the Billboard Top 40 from the Week of December 10, 1977?”. As it is, it may be that we’re all alone at the end, and that might make our hearts turn to stone.  However, the way I feel tonight, I think this is going to be like one of those boogie nights down in Swingtown. So don’t blame me if I go crazy and just dance, dance,
dance, yowsah yowsah, yowsah.
