This is the worst round for me, but in a last ditch attempt to get a few more thought I'd ask:

1. Other than the Wombles themselves, which other hit-making band of the 1970s included a Womble?
2. The biggest hit for which duo was cited for the similarities between its intro and that of Beach Baby by First Class, a hit in 1974?
3. Which late1990s hit ended with the immortal words "Elvis has just left the building"?
4. Which band's only successful journey to the top of the UK charts was a song about an escaped convict?
5. For which band, a one-hit wonder in 1970, did the singer Lynsey De Paul provide album artwork?
6. The title of which 1960s number one features in the lyrics of a Mel and Kim hit?
7. Brothers in Arms 2 was the working title of the debut album for which act?
8. Chaka Khan is name-checked on I Feel For You, her only number one in 1984. The same year saw which male artist sing his own name on a song that was also a number one?
9. Which band included "Dorian Gray" in its line-up?
10. With whom did Bjork want to duet, even though he was dead?
11. Which word has been mentioned in a UK number one single twice, in 1979 and 1986 respectively?

I Think Wizard did have a hit with We Wish You a Wombling Merry Christmas.

[guilliebrougues]

Roy Wood and Wizard also sang I wish it could be a Wombling Merry Christmas.

6 My first thought was Rocking Around The Christmas Tree (the other Mel And Kim) but teh Brenda Lee original was 1958 not a 60s
