Quick: what was the #1 song during the Cuban missile crisis?

Answer: He's A Rebel, The Crystals.

October 28 – November 10 1962Crystals - He's A Rebel.

The crisis: 13 days in October. The confrontation ended October 28, 1962 when K+6, Mr UN, and K+9 reached an agreement. The blockade was formally ended on November 20. Interestingly, the hit song, was the hit song for two weeks, beginning October 28.

Timing is everything, they say.

He's A Rebel, The Crystals

Quick: what was the #1 song during the Syrian missile crisis?

Answer: Justin Bieber's approved Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen. (That may be a dynamic link and may change over time.)

Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen
When you watch the video, imagine Vladimir pushing the lawn mower. LOL.

So, Carly isn't sure, "call me, maybe."

Blondie certainly didn't have any doubts. For Blondie, it was simply "Call Me" -- when you're ready, we can share the wine ... roll me in designer sheets ... anytime, any place, ... you can call me anytime....

Call Me, Blondie

I may do a poll: which video did you watch more than once?

• the Crystals
• Carly Rae
• Blondie

Call Me by Blondie was the #1 hit of the entire year, 1980....top news story of 1980 -- Ronald Reagan's election and the Iran hostage situation. Wow. The songs fit the times, don't they?

President Putin to President O'Bama: "call me maybe." LOL.
