First thought was:

I just wanted to add that in truth, this question was asked and answered. Nobody has and nobody ever will beat Spector's 'A Christmas Gift For You'. The sound produced by Spector and The Wrecking Crew (the musicians who later recorded the greatest album ever made for Brian Wilson) has become...

For once I'll resist posting Tim Minchin and instead share, from 'Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales' Michael Franti backing Old Bill Lee's unlikely Christmas heart warmer.

I mucked this up good and proper. Beat Senegal in the next round and we have the winners of D1 v C2, not the other way around. That looks like France. I'll change my tune to the, no doubt soon to be gleeful, Proclaimers:

Win the group and we'll likely be playing either Senegal or the Albion's three musketeers in the next round. I'd back us to win either. Should avoid France in the quarters as they'll win the group. Capable of beating any of the other potential qualifiers from C & D would mean a semi final...

Ground to a halt again. @studio150 did you want to set a category? There's no obligation. I see no reason why anyone suggesting a song needs to accept the responsiblity of setting the next category, but it might be useful if posters who don't want to, post to say so. Then anyone who fancies...

Let's move this on then as my category was just to pick it up again. Some excellent choices, but it's about time one of @studio150's Costello suggestions got the credit it deserves. I love the Attractions, but there's also something irresistible about those first recordings. Great tune, and...

Ooh, there's someone who knows his audience...

Okay, give me a song about waiting about for something / someone. E.g.

Your question @Surf's Up. Given your user name would it be too much to hope for 'Give me a song written by Brian Douglas Wilson?'

Okay, in the absence of a tight definition, I'm going to go for a man who now defines himself as a 'Two Hit Wonder' after being given a second hit by his fans as a birthday present 25 years on from his actual hit. Given that his second hit was solo and that this was as half of a duo with Wild...

Incredible performance of a great Prince song though.

Not even her first hit. Mandinka reached the top 20 a couple of years earlier.

With Norman, Doctor & the Medics and Gareth Gates and the Kumars for Comic Relief, this was Number One by three different artists who have been considered one hit wonders (For me Doctor & the Medics don't count as they broke the top 40 again with their cover of Waterloo). There are some great...

I've not seen a definition of a One Hit Wonder that drills down to consider the line up of the band. The England World Cup Squad got to Number One with 'Back Home' in 1970 and Number Two in 1982 with 'This Time'. The line up was entirely different, but they are both listed under the same...

'Not Now John' from the Waters/Gilmour Pink Floyd's following album was released as a single and reached the top 30.

Does it have to be a true one hit wonder? I.e. An act with one number one single and then nothing else ever in the top 40.

@Quebec Seagull, do you want to pass the baton to your choice?
