About the Song
"Top of the World" is the name of a 1973 song by The Carpenters. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973, becoming the duo's second U.S. number-one single. Originally intended to be only an album cut for the Carpenters, Lynn Anderson covered the song; Anderson's version reached #2 on the U.S. country singles charts in mid-1973. The success of Anderson's version prompted the Carpenters to release a new version as a single, where it topped the U.S. pop singles chart. The song is equally identified with both The Carpenters and Lynn Anderson. Karen Carpenter re-recorded the song for the band's first compilation as she was not quite satisfied with the original. Brother Richard Carpenter has remixed the song's vocals, most recently for their 35th Anniversary Gold compilation. In Cash Box magazine, "Top of the World" was number one on December 1, 1973. Swedish dansband Vikingarna had a 1974 Svensktoppen hit with a cover version in Swedish, "PÃ¥ världens tak", which was the first Vikingarna song at Svensktoppen .    Download this sheet!

Plus there are other symbols which will appear totally strange to you. So what are they all about and what do they mean? (More...)
