Julie, Do Ya Love ME by Bobby Sherman

Just missed out on some good ones. 

Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross and Lookin' Out My Back Door by Creedence Clearwater Revival were #2 and 3.  Cracklin' Rosie was in the Top 10.

Do you think hearing that in your third trimester contributed to you becoming crazy like a fool?

I think my whole generation was damaged beyond repair by being subjected to disco music during our fetal stages. :weep:

And of course you'd link the wrong video. "Eye of the Tiger" was Rocky III - Rocky IV had "Burning Heart".

Correct video:

I always liked how the guy wih the long hair and glasses tries to look so tough (0:21). :lol:
