[|Neanderthal] Man was the lone 1970 hit single by the [|British] rock group, "[|The Hotlegs]". Its popularity was created because of its word catching chorus "I'm a Neanderthal Man, You're A Neanderthal Girl, Let's Make Love in this Neanderthal World". In 1972, the three original members of the group joined with Graham Gouldman, and the four of them called themselves 10cc.

Baseball Cards
Collecting Baseball Cards have been a hobby of kids, teens and some adults since the early 20th century. Baseball cards were originally sold with [|tobacco], yet they eventually were taken over by gum companies. During the 60’s to the early 80’s the card company of [|topps] (once a gum company), had a [|monopoly] of the baseball card business. Their packs included some gum and 11 cards. During its prime, topps baseball cards were the biggest fad amongst kids. After the 80’s other card companies began to compete topps, and baseball cards as a whole have decreased in popularity, but it remains a large industry.
