Done In By the Beatles-- Part 2: Ginny Arnell and "Dumbhead"

Looking at the Chicago WLS charts back then, Ginny Arnell's "Dumbhead" was jumped from #12 to #4 on Dec. 13, 1963; #5 on Dec. 20th; #4 on Dec. 27th; reached a high of #3 on Jan. 3, 1964; #6 Jan. 10th; #8 on Jan. 17th and was at #12 on Jan. 24th.

Not a bad run on Chicago radio.

Next, I went to You Tube and listened to "Dumbhead." I still had never heard it before, but it was a classic "Girl Song" from the era. One that Lesley Gore could have sung.

I asked Liz if she had ever heard the song (as her ear was glued to her transistor radio back then), and she said "No." But once she heard it, she immediately remembered it.
