This was the first song I heard in Europe

Bovidae

A couple from the 1960s.

Great facial expressions

@Bovidae I think Soloman Linda was paid 1 pound for the rights to Mbube (wimoweh).

Fortunately for them his heirs were able to extract a pile of cash from Disney

Hang On Sloopy
Real American (aka Hulk Hogan's theme song)
Cotton-Eye Joe - Rednex (old folk song with multiple releases - this is the one from the 90s)
Was going to say Ghostbusters but apparently Ray Parker Jr had another US top 5 hit.

Chris B.

@Godder

A different version - a different thread could consider singers hotter than Michelle Phillips, but it would be a short thread!

This .
I think they did those dirges Lucky Man and The drugs don’t work anymore as well . The only saving grace of that song is that they had to hand over most of the royalties to the Stones for ripping off one of their songs .
