	Nice selection.

	Great quiz, as usual, although 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' should probably work, too(as opposed to 'You') :) Thanks!

	AshtonCinder:	Feb 4th, 2011 at 03:18 GMT	1 point
	Done! Thanks AmeliaL. 1978 should be up in the next day or so :)

	Not to quibble, but a number of these songs were released in '78. (The earliest is probably Double Vision, released in Sept 1978.) Some (MacArthur Park, Le Freak, You Don't Bring Me Flowers) even reached #1 in 1978. Still, I love these quizzes.

	Quibble away jmb :) The measurement of the song being one of the top 100 of the year is solely dependent upon the accounting methods of Billboard (and whoever copied the information onto wikipedia). I suppose I could cross check each song with Joel Whitburn's "Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits" but I think I'd rather take the quibble. That said, I have nothing but the highest respect for another exacting trivia nerd and your taking the time to give us a little extra info. Thanks! :)

	There's so much fun stuff here...like the take-off Cheech and Chong did of the Knack song in one of their movies....Donna Summer's remake of a song about an idiot that cried because she left a cake outside (who leaves a cake outside and forgets the recipe?), but that song taught a great lesson.....disco made it all better!!
