I think I missed 2.

BB - I heard somewhere that the Don MacLean song was the longest song ever to hit #1. I think it was like 14 minutes or something like that. (It was great when I used to DJ...I could play that and have enough time to piss AND get a beer, or two! )

Most of this was befor my time. Just curious if the hula-hoop was marketed as a excersize devise or just a mindless activity ?

[hobiecat]

I knew all but 2 of'em.

However I'm with BB, most of this was before my time.

[Kutter]

BB, back then, the only exercise equiptment marketed as such, would be free weights and Charles Atlas books. These were not sold for getting fit as much as body building. Unless you count the Jack Lalane Show (an older version of Gene Simmons). Everything else was for fun. We got so much exercise on our own, whether in work or play, that getting exercise was not an issue.

[BornBad]

I didn't think so - just never really figured out the craze behind the hula-hoop...

[Kutter]

The right set of female hips moving that hoop could give you a new understanding.

Now if we can just revamp the Halu~hoop craze with todays G string swimwear

And women say we don't pay attention
