Hi All:

Yes, EV I remember Fran's all you can eat spagetti at Yonge and College location, used to go downstairs sometimes for that deal!

A couple of my one hit wonder faves:

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

Bang a Gong - T. Rex

Venus - Shocking Blue

You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo ...

What is your favourite classic rock one hit wonder?

It's pretty hard to choose just one. Some that I like include:

• Mississippi Queen by Mountain
• Hold Your Head Up by Argent (I met Rod Argent when I was in high school)
• How Long by Ace
• House of the Rising Sun by Frijid Pink

There are hundreds of them, but most of them make it easy to understand whey they were one hit wonders in the first place.

What is your favourite classic rock one hit wonder?

Hmmm, seeing as Green Eyed Lady (I have the 45 down in the basement) and Bang a Gong (Get it On) are already claimed, I'll put "Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam forward as my one-hit wonder choice. It's one of those songs that everybody knows, but not by the original title.

Close second; Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky".

Yup! I remember Woolworth's! But, it was the one at Brimley and Eglinton.

If the photographer of SillyLoocie's picture turned left about 90 degrees that's where Woolworth's was.

And the Chinese food restaurant in the Golden Mile picture is where we frequently used to go for lunch when I was working at General Motors on Eglinton. Now the G.M. plant is torn down too, and there is another shopping centre on that site.

One of the worst songs that comes to mind was by David Soul of Here Come the Brides & Starsky & Hutch fame.

Don't Give Up on Us (beyond ghastly!)

Who mentioned Kreesge's ?

[1Shooter1]

Well the Leafs just made a big trade, giving up Stajan, Ian White, Mayers and Hagman for Dion Phaneuf and 2 unheard-ofs.

[Argo53]

Oh yeah I forgot about him. Can't stand his show, he's such a mumbler.

You're brave - dissing Silvio like that!!

[Argo53]

LOL - good one Andi - not too risque, we're all adults here anyway..at least in age, but probably not in the way we still act...lol.

Agreed - growing older is a given, growing up is optional!

Good morning, everyone!

My friend sent me this. Be warned, it`s a smidge risque.


A woman was helping her husband set up his computer.
At the appropriate point in the process, she told him that he would now have to enter a password. Something he will use to log on. The husband was in a rather amorous mood and figured he would try for the shock effect to bring this to his wife's attention.

So, when the computer asked him to enter his password, he made it plainly obvious to his wife that he was keying in...

P.....E....N....I......S.....

His wife fell off her chair laughing when the computer replied:

*PASSWORD DENIED - NOT LONG ENOUGH*

LOL - Had to send that one to my girlfriends. Thanks Andi!

[Argo53]

Afternoon. I'm all caught up with the words and want to say thanks to all.

But more than words (wasn't going into a song title there ....) this is a very insightful thread - we get history lessons and debunking lessons, we get to walk down memory lane while being kept up to date with the latest Toronto happenings (Shooter - your post was 4 minutes BEFORE TSN's!!).

Down that memory lane thing again - does anyone remember a band in early-mid 70's called Windmill?

woolworth's on st clair just west of bathurst is where i was every friday! waiting for the latest CHUM CHART!

...I still have some of those old Chum Charts in a box somewhere....tey were a "must-have', for sure!!!..LOL!!!....TR

Chum Charts ... now that brings back memories. Back when we used to buy 45's. I had a stack about 6" high that we used to carry back and forth to our friends. Once they got scratched they were no used. And we always had to buy new needles for our LP players. What we went through to listen to music!

You're brave - dissing Silvio like that!!

If that was his Sopranos character - I never watched that. News, golf, Survivor, Amazing Race, then more news.
