Congratulations to Shauna Downs of Atlantic Highland for correctly answering last week's questions! Shauna knew that it was in the summer of 1977 when Bill Conti had "Gonna Fly Now", Andy Gibb claimed "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and Alan O'Day was an "Undercover Angel". All of these songs were number one hits. Good luck to all our contestants with this week's question.
Summer Dateline
It was in the summer of this year when The Beatles were on the "Long and Winding Road", The Jackson 5 had "The Love You Saved' and Three Dog Night told us " Mama Told Me (Not to Come)". All were number one hits in the summer of this year. Name the year.

The Big Joke Corner
Well, a group of media experts have named Amy Winehouse the most powerful British star under 30 in 2010. They say the main reason that she is so powerful is because her breath is flammable.
According to a new study, regular demanding housekeeping lowers the risk of heart attack in women by 84% and by 54 % in men! However, if a woman actually sees her husband doing housework, her chances of a heart attack go up a thousand percent.
