MUSIC can make the strangest bedfellows. So what have David Bowie, John Denver and Queen got in common
�
Here's a clue. They share the link with New Order and Chumbawumba. Got it Well, they've all recorded hit singles in which the title was never mentioned in the lyrics of the song.
�
Bowie did it with Space Oddity; John Denver with Annie's Song and Queen never sang the words Bohemian Rhapsody in their hit of the same name.

Music fan David Nicholson has told us of a few others:
- Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers
- Blue Monday by New Order
- Tubthumping by Chumbawumba
- Annie's Song by John Denver
- The Riddle by Nik Kershaw
- A Sort Of Homecoming by U2
- Positively Fourth Street by Bob Dylan, which he says, in his opinion, features one of the greatest disdainful opening lines of all time: 'You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend...'
- New York Mining Disaster 1941 by The Bee Gees.
