    Shotgun Wedding, Angel, Ben, Crocodile Rock, Why


    As Noddy once claimed, "It's Christmas Big Ears" but the year is 1972. There's a lack of festivity in the bottom half on this Top 10 but as Andy and James unwrap the gospel and the gossip about these five songs they examine the shared roots of novelty songs and the blues, inter-species friendships and the nature of answers to the question "Why?"
