From the sublime to the ridiculous.
Number 1 and 93 respectively on Billboard's Top 100 of 1972.

Technically, the chart version of #93 is The New Seekers, the continuation, after their breakup, of Australia's Folk-Pop group The Seekers , featuring the charming vocals of the lovely Judith Durham.

Number 93, (your personal ear worm of the week) is The Hillside Singers' Coca Cola television commercial version of 1971 for which, apparently, we all have Don Draper to blame.

Also prominent on 1972's Top 100, coming in at number 12 is Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)-Looking Glass, number 60 Layla-Derek And The Dominoes, number 75 Schools Out-Alice Cooper, number 78, a personal favorite, the late Bill Withers'-Use Me, and finally-the vastly underrated and strangely poetic number 64, Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show's-Sylvia's Mother.
