MindCrime Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think it might be easier to include a link to the PDF format page (from the previous week) in the first post. That way some of us can quickly access to see which songs are long runners (falling-out) and which are newer entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll move it up to the top of that Post. Please CLICK HERE to view the full Chart in PDF Format. (Click on to open, then enlarge on your browser).

OLD 55 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 FLASHBACK TO 1958 ! The Jolly Green Giant commercial appears on TV with mixed results ! In his first incarnation he looks like a monster which scares kids. So they lightened him up and added "Ho, ho, ho" and the lilting "Good things from the garden" song.
