How about Come on Eileen, Dexy's Midnight Runners.

I think that one was mentioned earlier in this thread DSJ.   ;)

How about a couple oldies but goodies:  Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins and Chantilly Lace by The Big Bopper

Damn, I just can't win :(  I think I know something and I get shot down just like that.  At least allow me to boost my ego a little bit here, Matt  :-*

Sorry Mike!   :-*  But hell, your ego should still be fine, 'cause you've got the most bitchin' pansy dancin' Spiderman anywhere around!   8)

Something perhaps from the years when Matt had teeth...

Echo Beach Martha and the Muffins. ;D

Nuh-uh Brent...   ::)  Only song that ever charted from that group was Black Stations/White Stations, which rang in at a paltry #63 back in 1984.  But at least you've moved up a decade finally for us, though we still have no clue what the hell you're talking about!   :-*  But I can see why - they're a Canucklehead group, eh?!   ;)

My next stab at it:
Pump Up the Volume by M/A/R/R/S    8)

My goodness.  It's amazing we ever hooked up to trade Matt.  Check the Canadian charts on Martha et al.  

You may not know any of my bands but I sure haven't a clue as to the bands you mention either.  And I have a really hard time believing Hooters plays those bands, so I'm starting to question your choices in radio stations.  

BTW, I thought you'd be familiar with the Stealers Wheel song because Jeff Healy redid a version that had considerable air play.  NOt a hit by any stretch, but it was out there and not that long ago.  

Carry on wayward son Kansas.  

Oh, I know they probably had other songs, but I can't think of any that were popular.

Uh...  Ever hear of a little ditty called Dust in the Wind...?!  Pretty sure that one constitutes a "hit".  Yeah, Happy Birthday anyways Canada.   :-*

Damn, I knew there was another one.  Never went in much for the sappy stuff like you though Matt, so no surprise it slipped my mind.   :P

Ok, here's one that has a 99.9957346% chance of not getting shot down by Matt.

Because I got High by Afroman.  And I heard somewhere he's happy with his 15 minutes and found God and became a priest or something.

Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Although he's had a lot of success behind the scenes.

Speaking of actors who shouldn't sing... How about the cover of
The Clapping Song - Pia Zadora

You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate

Hmm, I dunno about the Cranberries. They had Linger, Zombie, Dreams and Salvation.

Has anyone said Ray ParkerJr.- Ghostbusters or Eddie Murphy - Party all the time?
