In the mid-1970s, singer and funnyman Ray Stevens crafted a song about a streaking craze that had spread across the nation. The Hot 100 always reflects pop culture in each particular era, and in some cases that captures some of the quirkier sides of life.

Timberlake has some climbing to do, too, as his song fell all the way to number three. People still think Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop This Feeling' is a good guess for early contender for song of the summer, but Drake has other ideas as his own first lead Hot 100 chart-topping hit, 'One Dance' returns to the top spot after a week away.
