songs you haven't heard in ages

That's right - apparently, back in 1978 a DJ played the B-side by mistake. The listeners enjoyed it so much that other stations started to play it and it went back up the charts when Babylon was about to quit the Top 40. And it stayed there for 40 weeks in total back in 1978.

It was number four in my birth week charts.

It's normally a single that has underperformed in the charts that gets flipped so the B-side is played in the hope it does better, rather than one which was a Number 1.

I still kind of like C'est la vie. Would it qualify as a guilty pleasure?

I like it as well, I can't think it's unusual enough to count as a guilty pleasure.
