Hits of ‘72: Have a Coke & Some ‘Pie’

Dave and Milt travel back to January 1972 to discuss the Billboard Top 10 hits of the week. The hosts engage in lively and sometimes mindless banter, sharing stories and trivia about the songs and artists, including classics like Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' and Don McLean's 'American Pie.' They also discuss some lesser-known gems and delve into various musical influences. Along the way, the podcast features fun segments like a playdate quiz on famous ad jingles and a substitution segment where the hosts replace one song from the list with another deserving track from the same period.    Topics   00:00 Introduction and Apologies 01:20 Knock-Knock Jokes and Dad Jokes 02:04 Back to Business: Time Machine Setup 03:22 1972: Elvis and Super Bowl VI 04:25 Historical Events and Birthdays 09:55 Top 10 Songs Countdown Begins 10:42 Jackson 5's 'Sugar Daddy' 17:29 The Stylistics and Philly Soul 24:30 Betty Wright's 'Clean Up Woman' 30:38 The New Seekers and Coca-Cola Ad 41:00 Don Draper's Unending Cycle 42:08 A Depressing PSA on Soda 47:09 Nostalgic Ad Jingles Quiz 55:04 The Influence of 'Scorpio' in Hip Hop 01:02:11 Badfinger's Rise and Fall 01:13:50 Jonathan Edwards' Accidental Hit 01:17:35 Confusion Over Jonathan Edwards 01:17:58 Musical Comparisons and Nostalgia 01:18:48 McDonald's Coke Obsession 01:19:26 Top Songs Countdown Begins 01:20:25 Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' 01:25:06 Melanie's 'Brand New Key' and Boogie Nights 01:32:17 Don McLean's 'American Pie' 01:47:04 Reflecting on the 1972 Music Scene 02:02:52 Upcoming Special Episode Teaser
