[dijiwoo49]

you scored



[DaveWollenberg]

Manhatin' , in the city where you live, was there a custom version of the song? For instance, here in the Chicago area, Reunion made 2! custom versions, one for WLS, the other for WCFL Hit #8 in Billboard. God bless!

[nighthawk48509]

@DaveWollenberg are the lyrics similar from one version to the other or a little different?

[DaveWollenberg]

@nighthawk48509 No, it's just that custom versions were made for different cities, with the call letters mentioned, instead of the lyrics, 'the radio'. God bless! Happy Thanksgivin'!

[nighthawk48509]

@DaveWollenberg thank you david and just to let you know the ending is a little longer on the super hits of the 70's volume 13.take care and have a good holiday.

[DaveWollenberg]

@nighthawk48509 I've got all 25 volumes of Super hits of the '70s'. None of which are played on that idiotic Urge music service that Absolute Trash & Trickery provides. Bleah! God bless!

Heh... I was in 3rd grade when this one came out. I memorized every single syllable and sung along to it in front of my friends... They thought I was really odd. They were probably right. ;-)

Phil,

You know what is freakin' scary? I actually REMEMBER this song.

It had its 15 minutes of fame.

From the first time that I heard this tune until now, I have loved it with all of my heart. It is my theme song and has inspired to become a radio disc jockey along with other influences. Thanks for the sweet taste of Bubble Gum.

1999toyota,

McRight On.

[1999toyota]

This is a hundred times better than the Mcdonalds menu song of the late 80's and the current Comcast song.

[powerpaw2]

The pops and crackles just make this even better. I sure miss being able to listen to lyrics with my mom in the car and not turn beet red!

[manhatin]

Fun, fun, fun till daddy took the turntable away.

[doowopbruce]

@manhatin Could you possibly post(in my opinion) the best cut this group ever recorded "They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore"?

Would appreciate.

[doghouse71]

oh yeah, I remember this song, I love it.

[ourvinylcollection]

hey this is the song that McDonald's ripped off for their "You could WIN $1,000,000 Instantly!" game back then...and you would get one of those flexidiscs that you had to take home and play on your turntable to find out if you won. :)

[PJDooWop]

Also reminds me of We Didn't Start The Fire (A LOT!). I wonder if this is the same group Reunion that's been singing doo wop since the 80s. This song has a "doo woppy" hook

[marshmallowinnards]

Reminds me of REM's End of the World song.

[manhatin]

queenbee345622 , One of those songs like "YMCA" that just seems to be more fun the older it gets.

[queenbee345622]

Cool. Sure takes me back to my grade school days.
