Aurra, Marvin Gaye, George Michael, Pet Shop Boys, Smiths, Freddy Mercury, Rod Stewart, Tears for Fears, Billy Ocean, Robert Palmer, Van Halen----all in one week....Imagine if life was so spiritual today?
@SeventiesMania I've got the song at home, we used to watch Spitting Image every week, my brother and I used to get into trouble for singing the songs in the playground the following Monday. The Chicken Song was popular in holiday camps at the time, so I think a lot of kids pestered their parents into buying it.
is this the infamous one, where peel says I will break wind in people's kitchens if a certain song(I don't remember which one) didn't get to number 1(it didn't by the way)

Such great songs lower down, yet a pile of s*ite, which was funny only as long as the first time it went out on the programme, is at number one.
Didn't the idiots who bought Chicken Song realise the irony of getting it to number one?

@knicksfan89 Yes, Pete Wylie's "Sinful" at 20. After waiting 18 years, now it'll never happen :-( One of the best Peel/Janice rundowns, this.
