Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

WLS Top 40 Survey for September 16, 2016-- Part 5: "Born a Woman"

20.  JUG BAND MUSIC--  Mugwumps   This was a song written by John Sebastion of the Lovin' Spoonful.  It didn't rank on Billboard.  The Mugwumps most likely were a group of L.A. studio musicians, but there is big confusion as to who they were.  Hearing one version on You Tube, I'd say they were the Spoonful.

I bought a Lovin' Spoonful double album set last year and it had a version of them doing this song.

19.  ROLLER COASTER--  Ides of March    Reached #92 on Billboard.   Follow up to their "You Wouldn't Listen."  Their biggest hit was "Vehicle" (#2-1970)  Their only Top 40. This was WLS promoting local Chicago talent.

18.  WITH A GIRL LIKE YOU--  Troggs

17.  BORN A WOMAN--  Sandy Posey

16.  SUNNY AFTERNOON--  Kinks

Name That Tune from the above songs:  "The Taxman's Taken All My Dough."  --RoadDog

BIZARRE LAWS IN AMERICA:  (From the Wassup magazine)  In California if a frog dies during a frog-jumping contest, it must be destroyed as soon as possible and it cannot be eaten.

"Sunny Afternoon"
