Whenever I want to stump someone with a pop music-related trivia question, I ask:
“Who was the youngest person to have a Top 10 record?”
Answer: Barry Gordon.
We’re cousins. My father and his father were “best men” at each other’s weddings.
He was seven years old when “Nuttin’ For Christmas” hit the charts. Somewhere I must still have my copy, with “Santa Claus Looks Just Like Daddy” on the flip side.
I’d listen to this as a kid, and I still remember the subtle “uh-oh” that follows “I spilled some ink on Mommy’s rug.”

That’s a great song.
Now I know who did it! Great record and one of my Christmas favorites.
Thanks for this Dan – my wife was always asking me if we had this – I didn’t know who had done it, let alone ever have a copy. She laughed herself silly with this over the Christmas break – All the best from loyal readers of your Blog to you and your family on this festive holiday. Cheers!
