Today I will be dining on squashed tomatoes and stew.
Followed by a dessert of bread and butter in the gutter.
Yum.
Here are some songs.
On the day I was born, Harry Nilsson was at Number One. Not with this song, sadly...

Hot 100 #54
Studio 54 was obviously going to get a mention in the Hot 100 this week, with Alyson, Jim and Rigid Digit all suggesting Chic - Le Freak...
Just come on down to 54, find a spot up on the floor, ahhhh
Alyson even wrote a whole post about this disco classic, which I'm guessing directed new player Alex G to get involved with another Studio 54- related suggestion...
Bizarrely, even The Clash had a Studio 54 reference in Ivan Meets GI Joe, as identified by Rigid Digit...Another song about Studio 54 is "Dario, Can You Get Me Into Studio 54?" by Dana and Gene. Whoever they may be! But the writer/producer behind it was the future Kid Creole, August Darnell, who later did a Kid Creole & The Coconuts version too, just titled 'Dario'.
Anything we should know about your change?
So you're on the floor at 54

Out of the disco, Martin offered a few choice treats, including...
Harry Nilsson, Take 54 - maybe not his finest moment, but includes the line "I sang my balls off for you, baby" which never fails to raise a smile.
You won't ever go wrong with Nilsson in my book, Martin!
recorded in Wales, perhaps?
Not really my bag either, but I'm sure it's nice if you're into that sort of thing.
Charity Chic was up next with this...
So basically, his girlfriend runs off with his best friend but on their way out of town their car is hit by a freight train and they're both killed. Sign me up for more of that, Wayne.
Meanwhile, the Swede had a 54 band for us... bending the rules, but that never stopped us, did it?
Bugaloo.
Then Alyson threw in this...
While Lynchie (still MIA on a Saturday morning) offered up this...
However, it's another reggae anthem which takes top spot this week... as suggested by most of you (Alyson offered up an Aswad cover while Jim suggested a 90s dance version which had the same title, but as it was by a band called Partners Rime Syndicate, I was just too scared to investigate further).
The best song ever written about being nicked for smoking da weed? You decide...

Next week... number 53. Surely there's only one serious contender for that? Your suggestions gratefully received nevertheless...
