This Day in Music - October 16th

This Day in Music – October 16th

The number 1 songs on the Hit List on the day I was born are the following:

US Charts - Sugar Sugar - The Archies
UK Charts - I’ll Never Fall In Love Again - Bobbie Gentry
AUS Charts - One Johnny Farnham

The song Sugar, Sugar spent 4 weeks in the number 1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 and was acclaimed as the number 1 single of the year by Billboard. The Archies came from fictional characters and the band was composed of studio musicians. The song is a canonical example of a bubble gum pop genre.

The song I’ll Never Fall In Love Again was number 1 for 1 week and stayed in the charts for a total of 19 weeks. This song was a cut from the Greatest Hits Album of Bobbie Gentry. Bobbie, a part Portuguese American was acclaimed as the first female country singer to have written and produced her own material.

Johnny Farnham was a british-born Australian pop singer and is acclaimed as the only artist from Oz with number 1 hits spanning 5 consecutive decades. After his success as a solo artist, he front-acted the Little River Band in the eighties. Thereafter, Johnny went on solo again and recorded Whispering Jack, the highest selling album in Australia at that time.

The music lyrics of Sugar Sugar

Sugar,
Oh, Honey Honey.
You are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.
Honey,
Oh, Sugar, Sugar.
You are my candy girl
and you got me wanting you.

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you.
(I just can't believe it's true).
I just can't believe the wonder of this feeling too.
(I just can't believe it's true).

Sugar,
Oh, Honey Honey.
You are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.
Honey,
Oh, Sugar, Sugar.
You are my candy girl
and you got me wanting you.

When I kissed you girl,
I knew how sweet a kiss could be.
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine
pour your sweetness over me.
(Pour your sweetness over me).

Oh pour little sugar on me honey (sugar)
Pour little sugar on me baby (honey honey)
When you make love so sweet (Yeah Yeah Yeah.)
Pour little sugar on me (oh yeah)
Pour little sugar on me honey
Pour little sugar on me baby
I'm gonna make love so sweet (hey hey hey)
Pour little sugar on me honey.

Ah sugar.
Oh honey, honey.
You are my candy, girl,
and you got me wanting you.

Oh honey (honey, honey, sugar, sugar)
Sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl.

The music lyrics of I’ll Never Fall In Love Again

What do you get when you fall in love
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of the chains, the chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of the chains, the chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again


The music lyrics of One

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the lonliest number since the number o-o-one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Oh-oh-oh
'Cause, one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, when you're lost at two

It's just no good anymore
Since you went away-ay-ay
Now I spend my time
Makin' rhymes of yesterday

One is the lonliest number
O-one is the lonliest number
One is the lonliest number that you'll ever do
Woh-one is the lonliest
Woh-one is the lonliest
One is the lonliest number that you'll ever do

It's just no good anymore
Since you went away-ay-ay

Number one is the lonliest
Number one is the lonliest
Number one is the lonliest number that you'll ever do
Number one is the lonliest
Number one is the lonliest
Number one is the lonliest number that you'll ever do

One..., woh-oh-woh-oh
One...
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One..., woh-oh-woh-oh
One..., yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
One...
