Back in the day, lots of songs went up and down the charts. And when I say "charts" I really only mean ONE chart. The Billboard Hot 100.

Remember this cereal?  How can you possibly have a bad day if you're eating a bowl of smileyfaces anyway?!   This cereal with the creepy clown was a favorite of mine as a kid and I think it was because the colors in the cereal were so crazy it would actually turn the milk an day-glo grey color...
