Here's a song I've never forgotten but never quite been able to remember. It reached #31 on the U.S. Top 40 chart back in 1974. I used to crank up the radio and sing along:
I'm a Train
So then I Google the singer/songwriter, Albert Hammond, and find out he was involved in a lot of other songs I've enjoyed. So here's a few more YouTube links:
My brother had the 45s for these first two goofy songs. I've got 'em now. *g*
Little Arrows
Gimme Dat Ding
It's hard to believe that the same man wrote this gorgeous love song:
The Air That I Breathe
And his main claim to fame in the U.S. as a singer:
It Never Rains in Southern California

Lovely trip down Memory Lane, sid.
Ta ever so much. :-))
