Elvis: Okay, so that was a jolly trick ya played on me last week...
Oh, don't be sore.
I'm not... 'ceptin' my knees. I'm too old ta be hidin' unner a desk that long!
Points for will power! Anyway, here, you do today's show.
Can I have a co-host? Like I do fer you?
Sure, have at it!
Hey, Noodle! We're on!
N: Sir, my name is Nardole: N-A-R...
E: We ain't got time fer that, my little billiard ball o' music! Play the new song!
N: Might I at least have a look at the set list... ah. Coming in at #9, a gentleman whose real name is Skye Kothari, recording under the nom-de-plume of acloudyskye, with this week's sole new song on the M10....
E: Technically, ya did a great job. personality-wise, son, yer dry as a September fart!
N: I fail to see what the month of the year has to do...
E: Never mind that! We gotta set the Wayback Machine ta 1966...
N: "Wayback Machine"?
E: Good grief, son, ya never watched Mr Peabody an' Sherman?
N: Er, I'm afraid not...
E: Well, step back fer a minit, I got work ta do. Go gimme a Nesbitt's Orange, while I...
N: A which?
N: I'll.... see what I can do...
E: So's in 1966, The top single here wuz ... really? On the week I do the show? The Beatles an' We Can Work It Out. The top rock in Australia wuz... really? AGAIN? The Beatles an' We Can Work It Out, with a double a-side a Day Tripper, which was #15 here by itself this week. An' I suppose Canada had... nope, they had an outfit WE used ta call the Wrecking Crew, but on the label here they wuz the T-Bones, an' No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In, which started out as a Alka Seltzer commercial, haw! It was #11 this week in the USA, an' hit #27 in Australia, which is kinda surprisin' considering what happens on the Song Chris Woul'na Turned Off.
N: Sir, your Nesbitts...
E: God bless ya, son! Now here, do this bit while I refresh...
N: (Sigh) Now Chris found 9 songs on this week's list of 1966. He chops it down to 3- just why, I don't know- and here are the results:
Third on his list is a song that peaked at #1 here, #2 in Canada, and #3 in Australia- nicely symmetrical- Simon and Garfunkel's The Sounds Of Silence, #2 on this week's Cashbox chart.
Second, a song that was just coming onto the chart at #85 this week. It would hit #1 here, and #7 in Canada, as well as number... well, that's odd, it didn't chart in Australia! Anyway, it was The Mamas And The Papas with California Dreaming.
E: Son, loosen up. Ya don' haveta capitalize "and the".
N: I thought we were trying to make the pretense of this being a live recorded show?
E: Just go on, boy! An' he wonders why I call 'im, "Noodle".
N: And Chris's #1 song he wouldn't turn off- It had peaked at #3, and was at #21 this week. In .. oh, wait, that's odd... Apparently it didn't chart in Australia OR Canada!
E: So that means ya better fetch 'em a video...
N: Certainly! Here are the Four Seasons...
E: Not bad, little buddy! That just leaves us with the rest a this week's M10...
N: I suppose you'll be wanting me to do that...
E: Nah, September fart, remember? Go see if the commisary has any more PBBs...
N: "PBB"?
E: Peanut butter an' banana samwiches! Now git!
