4. A hibiscus

14. Catamaran

11. Is not Robson & Jerome (who kept Free as a Bird from reaching No.1 in December 1995). It was another pair of utterly unworthy, unoriginal chart-topping twats, called something like Mark and Stinky.

Just to settle things I thought I'd look it up in my Guinness Book of British Hit Singles. Unfortunately though my copy doesn't cover this.

Interestingly though did you know that there had been 4 hit single versions? Not Ringo of course because the Beatles never released it as a single.

Joe Brown and the Bruvvers (number 32 1967)
The Young Idea (number 10 1967)
Joe Cocker (number 1 1968)
Wet Wet Wet. (number 1 1988)
