It's another CHUM April Fool's chart, with every singles entry given a 
joke title and artist.  For the sake of database integrity, the *actual*
singles and artists have been entered into the ARSA database!

Some of the jokes would have only been comprehensible to Toronto audiences
of the time.  

#10 - Nathan Phillips was at this time the mayor of Toronto.

#20 - Grocery chain Loblaw's gave out green stamps, redeemable for prizes.

#26 - Multi-millionaire Toronto businessman E.P. Taylor made his fortune as
a brewer.

#32 - Fred Gardiner, chairman of Metro Toronto, was often at odds with
Toronto councilor (and former mayor) Alan "Lampy" Lamport.

#46 - Punch Imlach was the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, about to head
into the Stanley Cup finals.  It didn't end well -- the Leafs lost all 
four games.
