I had to collect a parcel this week (get me!)
It was one of those where you have to go to a mini-supermarket, type a number into a screen and then wait until one of the shop-workers suddenly appears with your item.
I realise that is largely (wholly?) uninteresting but part of the multi-digit reference had the numbers 5705 in a row and I was immediately reminded of this song.
5.7.0.5. by Birmingham group City Boy was a top ten hit in August 1978. I would have been listening to the radio a lot that summer and it's a chorus that's really stuck with me across all these years, even though I never bought it and can't remember the last time I would have heard it.
Wikipedia tells me that the song was first recorded as Turn on to Jesus. That link will prove it.
City Boy hadn't troubled the charts before this and didn't hit the top 30 again.
