    "Smokin' In the Boys Room"??? Wasn't that by Motley Cure? Just kidding. A great classic.

    How about in no particular order: -
    # Carl Douglas - Kung Foo Fighting 1974
    # Men at work - down under 1982
    # Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) 1969
    By the way residuals from the last of these has been paying Peter's modest South London mortgage every year since. Where he lives with his wife and children and gives guitar lessons.

    Frankie did "Two Tribes" and "The Power of Love", and they and "Relax" got to number 1 in the UK.

    Does the UK count?
