Why yes it is! I actually heard this song on Dr. Demento years ago (over 10 years ago, actually - sheesh.). That was a hilarious song. He also did a great song about Wellington boots that I heard the original version of in my AP Euro History class later that year. Talk about distracting - trying to learn about the peasant class while humming a song about boots.
For the D.I.V.O.R.C.E. lyrics, Click Here (homepage.ntlworld.com) I'm pretty impressed too - that song was only #1 for one week.
As for myself - 1/20/75 "Please Mr. Postman" - The Carpenters (US) "Everything I Own" - Ken Boothe (UK) (edit - Hey Thrill, I've never heard of this song or artist either, yet here he was at or around the top song from at least January thru March. Crazy.)

That makes me feel old, considering that I owed the 45 of "I Love Rock n' Roll". You do know what a 45 is, right? Please say yes ...
For me:

| #11 Posted on 4.3.05 0943.09 Reposted on: 4.3.12 0945.18 | Mayhem, of course I remember 45's. What makes me feel old is that the most of the first recordings I owned were 78's (like the Three Stooges, "Alphabet Song")
StaggerLee, I loved Rolf Harris "Two Little Boys" - don't knock it till you've heard it. Rolf Harris wrote a ton of great stuff, my favorite being "The Buffalo Song" which was played on the local radio for years.
Other than Wierd Al or maybe Cledus Judd, novelty artists don't get played anymore. Is Dr. Demento even on the air anywhere anymore? | spf

| #12 Posted on 4.3.05 0951.52 Reposted on: 4.3.12 0951.53 | On 11/21/77, the #1's were:
USA: You Light Up My Life - Debby Boone UK: Name of the Game - ABBA
This makes me unhappy, as apparently I was born during the worst week of music EVER!
So just to try and make myself feel better:
10 yrs old: USA: Mony Mony - Billy Idol UK: China in Your Hand - T'Pau
The day I became a disaffected teenager, 11/21/90: USA: Black Cat - Janet Jackson UK: Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers (whoa!)
Sweet 16, 11/21/93: USA AND UK: I'd Do Anything For Love - Meat Loaf (YES!)
Cuz I'm EIGHTEEN, 11/21/95: USA: Exhale (Shoop Shoop) - Whitney Houston UK: I Believe/Up on the Roof - Robson & Jerome
And lastly, 21st birthday, 11/21/98: USA: One Week - Barenaked Ladies UK: Believe - Cher
So what have we learned today? That listening to the radio on birthday will rarely lead to good music being heard. | dunkndollaz
