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

@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!

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

[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!

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.

@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.
