You've got the comment king Mr DVD to blame for this one. Last week's rockabilly hero Johnny Burnette had a son, Rocky, who had a hit in 1980 with this song- Tired Of Toein' The Line. I thought it only fair that I should share it with you. No download- you're probably not going to listen to this more than once.
DVD reckons he's the only person who bought this. It was a US hit so maybe Dickie was just the only person in Yorkshire who bought it. Have a good night y'all!

LOLZ, I remember this.
Reached a dizzy number 58 in November 1979 according to my dog-eared and coverless Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles (14th Edition).
This is a terrible song. Although I have heard (and indeed bought) worse.
Glad to open the memory juice sluice gates y'all! Catchy aint it. (As is chlamydia)
I just love that windy riff.
No 58 eh, davy. In today's hit parade terms, that would place it at number 2 for 14 weeks.
Top work SA.
Dickie (Yorkshire rockabilly correspondent).
No thank you Dickie.
I quite like the idea of having county based rockabilly correspondents. 'And now over to our Essex/Cumbria/Lincolnshire correspondent who has news of some local rockabilly action...'
No comma thank you. That is. As in, ta DVD.
