Can You Dig It? – Mock Turtles (1991)
HIGHEST CHART POSITION: 18
Hailing from Manchester (and featuring Steve Coogan's brother, Martin) The Mock Turtles followed the long line of success stories that had come from the city during the heights of 'Madchester'. The track faltered at number 18 in the UK chart at the time of release, but lives on past The Mock Turtles' demise thanks to recent Vodafone ads featuring David Beckham.
Centrefold – J Geils Band (1982)
HIGHEST CHART POSITION: 3
Nanananananananananananan na na naaaa. The catchy hook was only one reason for this song's success - another was the catchy story behind the lyrics. The chorus line of 'my angel is the centrefold!' was written about a band member's reaction to opening up a girlie mag and finding his school sweetheart wearing nothing but the staples that held the pages together.

Chocolate Salty Balls – Chef (1998)
HIGHEST CHART POSITION: 1
Isaac Hayes, voice of Chef in post-watershed cartoon series South Park, is used to being on top… of the charts (ahem). He hit the number four spot in 1971 with 'Theme From Shaft'. But it seems Chef is the man who really hits your spot, topping the chart in 2000. Hayes and Chef share other interests too, Isaac authoring a cookbook, owning two restaurants and a leading brand of barbecue sauce!
