Throwing back to the week of February 21, 1956, we find a quartet of repeats atop the Billboard hits chart: ‘Rock and Roll Waltz’ (Kay Starr), ‘Lisbon Antigua’ (Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra), ‘The Great Pretender’ (The Platters), and ‘Memories Are Made of This’ (Dean Martin).
That brings us to #5, where The Four Lads show up for the second time on Throwback Weekends. Back in October, their ‘Moments to Remember‘ was featured, coincidentally also on a week it occupied the fifth spot in the chart.
That song eventually made it to #2, but today’s track — ‘No, Not Much’ — peaked at #3. This was the most popular version of the song, which was later covered by Bing Crosby, The Vogues, The Smoke Ring, and Robert Palmer.
I don’t bless the day I found you—no, not much
I don’t need you like the stars don’t need the sky
I won’t love you longer than the day I die
You don’t please me when you squeeze me—no, not much
My head’s the lightest from your very slightest touch
Baby, if you ever go, could I take it? Maybe so
Ah, but would I like it? No, not much
Like a ten-cent soda doesn’t cost a dime
I don’t want you near me, only all time
You don’t thrill me when you hold me—no, not much
My brain gets hazy from your cool and crazy touch
Baby, if you ever go, could I take it? Maybe so
Ah, but would I like it? No, not much
No, not much
