Lately, I've been really delving into the US and UK charts from the 50s, 60s and 70s to see what actually was popular at the time and to discover some more oldies. It's been rather educational. Prior to '64, the UK charts had tons of American singles from across rock and roll, pop and jazz, but in contrast, the US charts had very few prominent British singles become big hits. In fact, prior to the British Invasion, only three songs by British acts ever topped the US charts. "Telstar" by the Tornados was the last before The Beatles.
Then the British Invasion happened. You know the story, The Beatles arrive in the US and become the biggest phenomenon since sliced bread, and their success generates tons of interest in British pop. The Animals, Manfred Mann and Peter & Gordon have big number-one hits in '64. Other British acts start charting in the Top 20 pretty regularly. Suddenly, the US charts were overrun with UK pop, rock and R&B acts. In '65 alone, there were 7 British artists who topped the US charts, and 12 number-ones from those artists. By late '67 however, the British Invasion' popularity wanes and American rock, pop and R&B acts reclaim dominance on the charts. But between '64-66, there was tons of overlap between both charts that would not been seen again till the Second British Invasion of the 80s.
Between 1971 to 1975, glam rock was a huge deal in the UK. T. Rex's Marc Bolan's appearance on Top of the Pops - a music program that showcased the Top 50 songs of the week - dressed in glitter and satin - for the No. 1 song "Hot Love" is believed to be the moment where glam rock broke in the UK mainstream. The UK pop charts were inundated with glam rock acts such as T. Rex, Slade, Gary Glitter, Suzie Quatro, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hopple, Mud, Wizzard, David Bowie, Alvin Stardust, Sparks. Slade alone had six number-one songs in the UK. Six. Hell, even acts like Queen, Rod Stewart, Elton John and in '72 the Rolling Stones adopted the glam look. Not only that, even US glam rock artists like Alice Cooper had huge hits in the UK. "School's Out" was a No. 1 song there.
In the US however, none of these acts really crossed over, besides David Bowie, but even the only became huge in the States by playing around with funk and soul, which were both extremely popular on the US pop charts in the '70s. Of course, Sweet had two Top 5 hits with "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox on the Run" T. Rex had "Get It On" and Glitter had "Rock and Roll" become US

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
