Tonight’s featured artists only had two hits in their career and one of them became one of the most covered songs in Rock n’ Roll History So much so it has its own website.  Can you guess the song or artists?

The website radar-love.net details lots of info on the use and abuse of this song. It has been covered over 500+ times: Notable versions include Bryan Adams, U2, Crowded House, Def Leppard, R.E.M. and Carlos Santana. It has also been used in TV shows The Simpsons, The X-Files, Beverly Hills, 90210 and My Name Is Earl. Movie usages include The Break-Up, Pushing Tin and Wayne's World 2. The original artists are of course Golden Earring. For me every time I hear this song I think of the 'Flying Bobs' at the Bangor Fair.  I was 13 when it was a hit that song played repeatedly on the midway that year. Strap in here we go:)
