SPECIAL NOTE:  "My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry (on Chess Records) 
debuted on WWDJ's survey two weeks ago at #28, and moved to #13 
the following week.  It is # 7 this week, the week WABC added the 
song to its playlist.  However, the add lasts for only two days.  
The record is pulled at the behest of upper management.  (The 
story is that the wife of an upper-corporate-level manager or 
director heard the song on the air, and demanded that it be 
pulled;  one might say that she pulled "My Ding-a-Ling.")  After 
this week's survey, the song is never heard again on WABC.
