I think in 1925 the top songs were based on the purchases of sheet music, not records. Perhaps just listening to the radio was the most popular source of music. On the other hand, phonographs were popular in those days. According to a couple of searches, records were not sold in great numbers until 1929.

Had just gotten married in June, 1975 and celebrated our 50th anniversary last month. I always associate that song with our wedding.

She did, but it had something to do with their health care situation and having to get divorced to get it resolved. They continued to live together.

All these songs came out the year I got married and bring back such memories every time I hear them.

Yes, this is one of those songs that people love to hate, like “Feelings” and “Seasons In the Sun”.
Not every pop tune has to be a musical masterpiece or rock classic. There were lots of “sunshine pop” in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s that were just pleasant background music type tunes that no one took seriously. And just because something was overplayed doesn’t make it a bad song.

“inability to be affectionate.”
A euphemism for another unpublished song of theirs “Wouldn’t get Wood”!😎

The kids love them
This was a great tune
At a swanky Black Tie wedding in NYC last month EW&F was on the dance list. The Band played it
Great music early 70s

Overplayed?
No. You see the title and the tune plays in your head for a week. It’s involuntary. Like breathing
Make it stop
Ear worm music has a particular shallow simplicity that makes it so. It is torture

How about “Do That to Me One More Time”?
As it turned out, apparently what she meant to say was do that to me at least once already!

I was 12. I remember that song and the bikini top the girl riding in the back of the pickup/camper with me was wearing. Darn thing was a front closure.
Hard to have a smooth move to pop ‘em loose without just going directly to the issue!!!

Well actually....
Zappa’s “Bobby Brown (Goes Down)” was successful in Europe, where it was a number-one-hit in Norway and Sweden.

Never heard it. I believe his only U.S. solo charter (not counting Moon Unit's "Valley Girl", a novelty song) was a low charting song about not eating yellow snow, another novelty song.

I was 15. I liked it. I was a big Neil Sedaka fan. His old stuff.
