Huh. What an odd duck of a year. Telly Savalas and Mike Reid try their hand at… well, I guess you’d call it music. You might like “Lovin’ You” or “I Believe In Father Christmas” but I certainly don’t. I do enjoy the trend of almost every April in every year having the winning Eurovision entry pop in to say hello but “Ding-A-Dong” is a just this side of annoying. And I’m assuming that some retrospective thing happen concerning Laurel and Hardy considering “The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine” was recorded 38 years prior to it charting. “Lady Marmalade” is the best of a bad bunch and let’s leave it at that.
