9. I remember Fly Robin, Fly

I also remember thinking, "You know, this song is kind of annoying, but I think I'll like it when it's not popular anymore." So I always changed the station when it came on. I think I heard it last year for the first time in forever.

For my own entry, there's this one from a group that nobody seems to remember (except perhaps for American Woman):

[Still Blue in PDX]

11. Pretty sure I remember all the lyrics to Fly, Robin, Fly, even though I did forget its existence. nt

24. He is out of jail now ...

Harris's career as a popular entertainer ended when he was convicted and imprisoned for sexual offences.[7] In 2014, at the age of 84, he was jailed on twelve counts of indecent assault that took place between 1968 or 1969 and 1986, on four female victims then aged between eight and nineteen. As a result, he was stripped of many of the honours he had been awarded during his career, including the AO and CBE.[8][9][10] He was released from HMP Stafford in May 2017.
