Someone on some other thread referred to 'Those Were the Days' and it got me thinking about Mary Hopkin's version. I love that tune.
Post your favourite pop song(s) from the 1960s or 70s, no matter how cheesy. This might include anything from Cat Stevens to Boney M, just as long as it had mainstream radio-play.
Rules:
1. They must be actual pop songs; not just some obscure personal favourite, or metal (unless the tune got mainstream play).
2. Ideally, post one from each of the two decades.
3. Feel free to post more than one from each, but keep the decades even (e.g. 1 60s + 1 70s, or 2 60s + 2 70s etc.)

Pop Music you say? Well 1979 was good:
