The Who did Momma's Got A Squeeze Box? I never knew that!!!

By the way mate, Cotton Eye Joe was by the Rednex.
The Grid did Swamp Thing

[Baz]

Ah yes, of course. Thanks. Wasn't swamp thing quite similar ... banjos and stuff? The Who certainly did 'Momma's Got A Sqeeze Box' - used to cover it in a band I was in!

[David]

No problem Baz, yes it was very similar

Well wonders never cease *starts singing* "Momma's got a squeezebox she wears on her chest. When Daddy comes home he never gets no rest"

Ahem......anyway here's my five:

Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover

Mule Skinner Blues - The Fendermen
Telstar - Tornados
Losing My Mind - Liza Minelli

Telstar was/is one of my all time fave records when i was younger it reminded me of the Marine Boy theme for some reason too. Think the Tornados had afollow up single too.
