Just four debuts this week: Elton John’s “Honky Cat” (8BB/9KJR), “Play Me” by Neil Diamond (11/13), Joey Heatherton’s remake of Ferlin Husky’s 1957 hit “Gone” (24/38), and a skit taken from Cheech and Chong’s Big Bambu album, “The Continuing Adventures of Pedro de Pacas and Man,” which was never released as a single and therefore could not make the Billboard singles chart—it’ll go to number 28 here next week, then drop off the survey.
