Oddball songs that did well in the charts..

[DCLane]

Not sure if I will get shot for this one "JCB Song" but it should explain my sense of humour to you all. (December 2005)

Love the lines...

Not from me ... another one I bought

Number 6 in 1973

Ooh, can't forget this:

Surprised no-one of my generation has come up this:

I can't believe I didn't think to link to that one , especially as I got a copy relatively recently. Don't know if it got in the charts (probably not) but I love their cover of "Don't look back in anger":

EDIT: Bit of a glitch there, try again.

Remember that "Gordon is a Moron" song?

Jilted John by Jilted John, to give it its proper title.

 

[smutchin]

Top 5 in 1986. Not as wilfully "wacky" as some of the other suggestions so far, but definitely very odd...

Tough cheddar if yer name was Gordon when that song came out.

Jilted John now appearing as John Shuttleworth. His recent songs have not made the charts though!

The second song on here sadly didn't chart, can't think why!

 

[smutchin]

No.1 in 1981. She's Scottish, you know...

@Dayvo ...I watched The Big Lobowski yesterday (for the first time). Great film, Dude!

[QUOTE 2336361, member: 259"]Two Margarines On The Go should have been number 1



"Two margarines on the go, it's a nightmare scenario". [/quote]

It is my new ringtone!

I have to confess to having a load of Sparks stuff in one of the darker corners of my iPod. "Pineapple" is a favourite... mostly because it's just a bit 'kin weird!

i lost my 21 sparks albums with my old hardrive.... cracking band though. Sparks are the band Queen could've been if they'd tried harder.

Glad you liked it, Maz!

 

[Dayvo]

Not so odd, just a little, er, different.

Pop music, yer say!

Don't think this ever charted, but if we're doing strange...
