The best song in the chart was at #10: "We are the Champions" by Queen, along with its B-side "We Will Rock You". An absolutely perfect song! Both of them...

The #27 song, "Really Free" by John Ottway and Wild Willy Barratt was good, the Bside of that was even better. A song called "Headbutts"
Typical John Ottway lyrics - ie totally crackers song!
"I was walking down the street with a cup of tea
I saw two skinheads looking at me
I gave them Headbutts!"
Brilliant!
