Last one on this theme and I feel it might be a bit trickier than the previous one but there are still some easy ones in there. These songs range from the 1960s right through to today and have a connection. They are songs that have reached No1 in the US but are by or feature British artists so bear that in mind when compiling your answers.
REMEMBER - song title and artists needed and limit 5 entries per poster before you need to take a 24 hour break to give others a chance and NO GOOGLING PLEASE. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain. There's no disgrace in letting one of them get into your head and driving you mad until you finally get it, just after someone else has
