Well, I can't guess till we've asked 8 more questions, but I strongly suspect J.C., that you have just chosen my #1 most hated song of all time! ;D
Subject: Re: 20 Questions by Default
I can't stand it either, if it's the one you are thinking about.
And it looks like you scared off Screwdriver54, so unless he comes back or if someone like Karen M. joins in, you get to ask the remaining questions. (Sorry I can't give you the win yet.)

Subject: Re: 20 Questions by Default

Does the singers first name begin with a b?
Subject: Re: 20 Questions by Default
I could be barkin' up the wrong tree, 'cus I don't seem to recall the word "love" anywhere in the song, but...
Anyway, Screwball seems to have logged off, and since a threesome is much more fun than a twosome, I'll leave it till morning now! ;)
Oh, he's back now!

I've never even heard of it!
Subject: Re: 20 Questions by Default
Thanks, I can't Believe it took me that long to get it. What through me was that it was out in 76 because it wasn't #1 until July. I'll start a new 20 questions tomorow.

Wait a minute. I never said it wasn't #1 until July. Did you know this or did you look at the same web page I did? ???
{I'll let it slide this time, but from now on we should have a new rule stating that only the moderator (which would be you tomorrow) can look up info elsewhere on the web}. See ya'. ;)

It's a long story how I actually found it. I ended up using a Joel Whitburn book I have, and it listed the hit as July 1977.
