“Footprints on the Moon” by the Johnny Harris Orchestra was an easy-listening piano-led instrumental that had nothing to do with the recent moon landing other than its title.  It did not make the Billboard pop charts at all (though it did get to number 31 on the Easy Listening chart), while here it’ll make it to number 38.

“Mah-Na-Mah-Na” by Piero Umiliani was a memorable oddity from the soundtrack to the motion picture Sweden Heaven and Hell, and is very familiar to fans of Benny Hill and the Muppets.  It peaked at number 55 in Billboard but will go to number 17 here.  Strangely, it is credited on the KJR survey for its first two weeks as by “Cab Gasue.”  If anyone named Cab Gasue has ever lived, let alone recorded a version of “Mah-Na-Mah-Na,” I have never been able to find any evidence of it.  For the final three of its five weeks on the survey the name is replaced by the notation “soundtrack,” which is why I feel comfortable with the assumption that we’re actually talking about the Piero Umiliani original.

Nilsson’s “Everybody’s Talkin’” is making its second appearance here; when initially released in 1968 it peaked at number 113 nationally and number 31 in Seattle, while this time around it’ll stop at number 35 here while being a number six Billboard hit.  Of the other debuts, the only one that won’t do about equally well on both charts is the Spiral Starecase’s “No One For Me to Turn To,” (52BB/28KJR), their follow-up to “More Today Than Yesterday.”

The Green and Muddy Rivers are back to back at numbers eight and nine.
