O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (8)

[CAMiller]

Well no match to talk about and three days before our next game here's something to keep you going. Put these lyrics into your karaoke brain and pluck out the song title and artist who had a UK No 2 hit with it . Yes they all only made it as far as No 2 in the UK charts (according to my source in case of disputes). Some you'll wonder how did that only ever get to No 2 and others how the hell did that get to No 2. Most are from the 1960s with a few late 50's and early 70's thrown in so should suit most on here.

As usual, PLEASE no posting answers once you've Googled the lyrics to satisfy your itch. 5 is the self imposed limit before taking a 24 hour break and giving others a chance. Some are pretty tricky so post the title and let others fill in with the artists later if you don't know both.
