Just remember that when I can't tell the difference between this and the song title thread I am likely to close one of them.

Thunderclap Newman "Something in the Air"

Great song - produced by Pete Townshend

Not to get off track, but this is Sal Valentino the lead singer of the Beau Brummels from back in the day, with what I'm pretty sure is a Guild, of all things!!

Nice one! It's really easy for a band that doesn't actually exist to "disappear" afterwards!

The worst "hit" of all time.

Here is the original in all it's brilliance.
