That’s what I thought too Jason when I first heard the question but that’s not it.

Are the all better known for film/tv than for the album they originally appeared on?

All used as “theme” music for adverts??

If you mean the Righteous Brothers for Unchained Melody (there are lots of versions, including Jimmy Young) then I don’t believe any of them were #1 in the USA.

[The VFM Addict]

Unchained Melody has been covered so often by so many artists.  Some made No 1 in the USA and some in the UK.

To give folks a clue that may lead to the answer, Stranger on the Shore, could also be added to the list.

Must admit I had to Google pretty much all of them.

Seeing as no one else has posted one recently, here’s one:-

‘Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!’

It’s stretching things a bit but it’s a song.

[Jason]

I thought it might be that the song title doesn’t appear in the lyric, but that doesn’t apply to Stranger on the Shore.

[Dave Rice]

Stranger on the Shore was an instrumental, so it could.

Funnily enough, I was singing this to Ellen earlier ‘Twelve feet long and two lanes wide, 65 tons of American pride’ :yahoo:

Give that man a Gold Star.  He got it quicker than I ever did………oh and a Silver Star to Dave R for confirming the kill. :good:

BTW the lyric’d version of Stranger on the Shore never made No. 1 only the instrumental did.

Isn’t that a quote from Slaven Bilic?

Ouch! Harsh but fair Dave!

If anyone gets this one I’ll be truly impressed.

‘I told the mounties, throughout the counties
To put some bounties all over B.C.’

[The Duke]

These are all easy with the aid if Google.  :yahoo:

Another Canuck – (clue)

# I can see her lyin’ back in her satin dress

In a room where ya do what ya don’t confess

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creepin’ ’round my back stairs… #

When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
I'm out.

[wasbit]

Sorry Bob, the answer’s in the lyric.

Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot. I lent the CD to someone & never got it back.

 

Pretty little Sally goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters, but not for free and gratis
An inch or two and then she knows when to say when
