About the song
My unfulfilled dream to be a recording artist. It is a humorous biography of my teenage dreams and middle aged foolishness.
Reached #1 on 27 June 2007. Yeah! :-)

Lyrics
Number One in the Nation
Words and music by Johnny Proctor
Number One in the nation
It’s the latest sensation
Call your radio station
Number one in the nation
Wait till after school ‘til I get my fix
Turn tables rock a California mix
Sing along with Jan & Dean just for kicks
Dreaming someday I might be
Number One in the nation
It’s the latest sensation
Call your radio station
Number one in the nation
Cutting grass, pumping gas, cramming for tests
Building up a mountain of teenage stress
Saying prayers, heaven cares I need to be blessed
Praying someday I might be
I feel so small, feel I’m not here at all
With a hit record I’d be ten feet tall
Number One in the nation
It’s the latest sensation
Call your radio station
Number one in the nation
Looking back on the days I held that dream
Life didn’t turn out the way it seemed
Deep down inside I still see the gleam
On a shiny silver platter that reads
Number One in the nation
It’s the latest sensation
Call your radio station
Number one in the nation
