Can anyone help me?

The other did Archie, I believe. We're talking more than 40 years ago, and I'd have to do a little research to verify what I remember.<br /><br />As for "Seven Days a Week", having heard it over the years, there really wasn't a catchy enough hook, and some people might think it was a Beatles knock-off ("Eight Days a Week"), though the concept of the song was much different.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-38079838411398608242011-10-07T10:31:43.097-04:002011-10-07T10:31:43.097-04:00Educate me - what singles that came in cereal?

That included Scooby songs?<br /><br />What makes you think "Seven Days..." couldn't have been a hit?Marc Tyler Noblemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732005290440645718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-70007296361934356552011-10-07T10:28:37.787-04:002011-10-07T10:28:37.787-04:00You know, it is quite amazing.

Kind of like he was mimicing Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.<br /><br />"Rocky" was my first exposure to Roberts, not knowing about his Scooby-Doo work until way later. To find that he co-wrote "IOU" for Lee Greenwood is another surprise. That was all over the radio back in its day.<br /><br />If H-B was going to release any Scooby-Doo music, it'd have been the cardboard singles that came in cereal boxes, same as Josie & the Pussycats, because I remember seeing that, and I think the same was done for Filmation's Archie shows. "Seven Days a Week" wouldn't have cracked the top 40, as Roberts would do 2 years later.<br /><br />Heh, I associate "Keep on Singing" with Helen Reddy, but what do I know?hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.com
