SPECIAL NOTE:  Although WABC had "Indian Giver" by the 1910 
Fruitgum Co. (on the Buddah label) listed as #17, it was not 
played; indeed, it was never played again on WABC.  The situation 
was similar to July, 1966, when "They're Coming to Take Me Away" 
was banned, due to protests from the mental health community.  
Only this time, the group was Native Americans.  When the new 
survey countdown was presented by Bruce Morrow, he noted that #17 
was "Indian Giver," but he said he couldn't find it and moved on 
to #16.

"Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" by the 5th 
Dimension was added to the survey on Friday.
