Titz Towers, North Notts

Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf. I know they have had other songs, but without google or being a serious rock fan, I doubt many people in the street would be able to name many.

NB. this is now the cue for everyone to start shouting out obscure Steppenwolf songs that charted at 96 in the chats of the People's Democratic Republic of Faraway

both groups did several hits.

Now for a true one hit wonder;

Echo beach......Martha and the muffins.
