Shooby Dooby Doo Wop

18th December 1975, Part 1

Ep. 81

Show Me You're A Woman, All Around My Hat, Golden Years, Na-Na Is The Saddest Word, Let's Twist Again


It's Chriiiistmaaas! So what could be more appropriate than a look at these (albeit still randomly selected) 5 singles from the bottom half of this 50 year old festive Top Ten? Strangely there's only one Xmas song in the whole caboodle so Andy and James are drawn into discussing sad words, working underground AND overground and, because it's nice to have a party this time of year, twisting and morris dancing.


Merry Dooby and Happy New Shoo Wop!
