Notes:
IMO, you'd have to be clinically dead (or a "class A" honky) not to like this
 
Call me whatever name you want, it's not something that moves me. I like most of his other work. This song just does nothing for me.
 
With apologies to Elton John:

"Get back, honky cat
Livin' in Toronto isn't where it's at
It's like adding vowels to certain words
And hating Stevie Wonder is just absurd
Get back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat, woo
Get back, honky cat
Oh yeah, you would spell it 'wouo'"
 
CORRECT ORDER

ONJ "Magic" peak 8/23
Kris Kross "Sailing" peak 8/30
Diana Ross "Upside Down" #3 <- i went with this
Queen "Another One Bites" #1
Babs "Woman In Love" #7
Kenny "Lady" #39

green: my candidates
white: on my list and in the top 40
brown: in the top 40 but missing from my list
orange: on my list but not in the top 40
