Headbang votes (3)

From http://banchoryheadbangers.blogspot.com/

One Hit Wonders had featured at the previous Headbang and had seemed to be pretty popular, so I dredged out some more this time around and this was how the votes worked out:

1 Golden Earring Radar Love 85
2 Be Bop Deluxe Maid in Heaven 66
3 McCoys Hang on Sloopy 65
4 Jags Back of my hand 63
5 Adverts Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes 48
6 Keith West Excerpt from a teenage opera 47
7 Brownsville Station Smokin' in the boys room 46
8 Magazine Shot by both sides 28
9 Yellow Dog Just one more night 27
10 Leaves Hey Joe 20
A very clear winner again in Golden Earring, but the McCoys video which featured an attractive young lady would have given them a close run for their money were it not for some oddly low scoring for Hang on Sloopy from Steve and Gerry. Incidentally, there's plenty more where this lot came from.

Then came Jeb's suggested topic - Cheating Songs - and this is how the voting worked out:

1 Blondie Heart of glass 81
2 Creedence Clearwater Revival I heard it through the grapevine 73
3 Eagles Lyin' eyes 72
4 Cars My best friend's girl 58
5 Kenny Rogers & The First Edition Ruby don't take your love to town 47
6 Doors Back door man 41
7 Secret Affair Time for action 32
8 Connie Francis Lipstick on your collar 31
9 Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin It's my party 30
10 Hank Williams, Jr. Your cheatin heart 30

Blondie was very popular and clearly won this section, but CCR's version of Marvin Gaye's classic managed to score a maximum of 10 from 4 of our group, but was not favoured by Ian or Dylan.

It was at this point that Jeb reverted to his CD collection to play and dance to Delilah and his voting sheet for this section added this to the list, scoring it 11 - shades of Spinal Tap!
