Let's face it, when compared to much of today's music, anything done 20 years ago or more can be called classics. This a generation that prefers lo fidelity mp3 disposable music.
Chart Hit [Level 6]
Good grief, you can't beat Ken Dodd and the tickling sticks!
David Essex........er.......a girly thing!
I do know 'Mr Custer' but we had The Charlie drake version here. (A 60's UK comedian who also sung 'My boomerang won't come back').
Triple Platinum Record [Level 10]
"Please Mr. Custer" was a hoary old novelty record....some Civil War doofus who didn't wanna go to war..."Please Mr. Custer (the General)...I don't wanna gooooo..."
Crap--best forgotten. Music for the "Hee Haw" crowd. :lol:

Marky, you haven't heard 'My boomerang won't come back'.
Truly awful.

If Rapper's Delight still a fan, favorite after 26 years, then 50 Cent, Biggie, LL Cool J, KRS-ONE and Diddy will be playing as OLD SCHOOL Hip/Hop Classics years from now!
