Ringo Starr, ‘No No Song’/’Snookeroo'(‘Cash Box’ magazine, February 01, 1975). Click to enlarge.

Both “No No Song” and “Snookeroo” originally appeared on Ringo Starr’s Goodnight Vienna album in late 1974.

Though Capital initially promoted the single as a double-A side, it was the Hoyt Axton-penned “No No Song” that wound up as a hit. The humorous, sing-along tune reached a very respectable #3 on the US Hot 100.

The Elton John & Bernie Taupin-penned “Snookeroo” was also released as an A-side in the UK where it failed to grab a chart placing.
