America's "A Horse With No Name" was arguably the biggest hit of 1972, but I've never understood its appeal. The melody consists of about five notes, and the lyrics make no sense.

Speaking of 1972, here are some of my favorite songs from that year:

• On the Day Conny Kramer Died--Juliane Werding

• Don't Let Him Touch You--The Angelettes

• Amarillo--Tony Christie

• Beautiful Girl--Tony Marshall

Yeah, no kidding! Nine days in the desert would be more than enough time for me to come up with a name for the horse.

1001 thanks to you! I don't think I've heard this song since I snuck a spare copy out of the station and then gave to my friend Marie.

Or maybe it was Neil Sedaka’s version. I have to go back to the video to remember those times clearly.
