    Unless you're into Bond music I doubt you can name another tune from these Norwegian

    Sun Always Shines on TV, Cry Wolf - off the top of my head, they were pretty big in the 80s.

    I feel that the fact you know this is somehow connected to the chocolate moccachino.

    Considering he's Aussie based it's odd indeed, but as I found last month in NZ you basically have to say the full name most of the time.

    Absolutely.

    And 'Sound of the Suburbs' their only track to break the UK Top 20, hence their only hit.

    I always really liked this song, great voice and never heard a thing from her again.

    Can confirm she was batshit crazy in interviews too, my kinda girl.

    Went back and read the original post, so some didn't meet the criteria.

    But without Google and YouTube most wouldn't remember.

    @MiketheSnow I feel like you've been in a thread of your own on obscure British songs from the 70s that most of us have never heard of before now.

    @Rancid-Schnitzel The girl in that video looked familiar so I went to google and she's the singer from Republica (a 90s band I only remembered when reading the Wiki page).

    Surely this is the ultimate? A world-wide hit, No1 in the US and UK for weeks on end, then nothing.
