I'll probably post more about CHUM CHARTS down the road. (Including how my prized collection of these things went missing, save for a few.) But for tonight, and in keeping with the Canadian content of these Friday Night posts, I offer you a cool tune -- released in '67 just a couple of weeks after this Summer of Love chart came out. Ladies and gentlemen, The Ugly Ducklings.
Hit it, boys.

o wait, it doesn't say cum hit parade after all
Uno: Yeah, with all that love and such going on back then, eh? (This one might have been #1... had it been a wee bit... longer.)
I feel like I've missed out. What is a Chum Hit Parade?
Woozie: CHUM (the call-letters) is a radio station in Toronto. Back in the day, it was the hottest station around these parts. The Charts were published weekly and distributed for free at record shops. 1050 CHUM was Toronto's version of 77 WABC in New York. (I could only get WABC at night, after the smaller stations shut down. I used to listen to 'Cousin' Bruce Morrow, Charlie Greer and Big Dan Ingram. Wanted to be a DJ myself.)
