This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

You are 100% correct.
You should, however, have linked the live on "The Ed Sullivan Show" version. Truly breathtaking...
Then again, there's the live version by Slade. One of the finest live recordings ever made, burp and all. They make it a completely different song, but still just as great in it's differentiality...

Sort of like Klaus Nomi's version of the Leslie Gore classic "You Don't Own Me" ... which is also on my list.
