@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

Can't believe we've gone a week without this being dropped.

It was on 'Divorce' last night - a great TV series btw

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.

@Godder

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

I'm sure they had another "hit" and a f-ing hate them and wish you had never posted that as it has reminded me they exist.

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 .

@jegga Re the royalties, Jagger and Richards recently signed them over to Ashcroft.

@MiketheSnow I wasn't sure, was trawling an online list. Clearly their definition is not as stringent as ours

Gossssh some amazing tunes in here but only got half way through when I noticed a big red "BANNED" next to @Rancid-Schnitzel what have I missed?!? Update please and then I'll get back to the thread!

Also... I recently saw the vid for deeply dippy on TV and didn't realise how camp it was I thought it was 90s music fashion back then in my youth... Great band.
