Back by popular demand. Have a go at this. These are lines plucked from UK Number 1s in the years listed, 1960-1999 covering just the years I lived there (and to be honest after 2000 is a pile of crap anyway). Some are easy, some more challenging.
Here's the rules, no Googling please or you'll answer all 40 in 5 minutes. Feel free to use Google to satisfy your own curiosity but don't then post the answer on here. Once you've had a stab at 5 of them then give it a rest for 24 hours before posting again to give others a chance. Reply with year, song title and artist to get a point, remembering the year the song is listed under as it might be referring to a (godawful in some cases) cover version.
