[Marky B]

In Emmerdale on Friday night,the gorgeous Maisie did a quiz and one of the questions was "Name three UK number 1 chart hits,where the title is not in the lyrics."
She came up with the answers of
UNCHAINED MELODY
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

The Imigrant Song - Led Zep

[Stephen_G]

Foul on Nirvana, hc. S.L.T.S. only got to Number 7 in the UK charts.

Sadeness (Part 1) by Enigma

Yes, Immigrant song doesn't include the lyrics 'Immigrant Song'... but it wasn't even a single in the UK, never mind a number one.
I'm sure instrumentals don't count either.

What about The Importance of being Idle by Oasis?

Side Saddle Russ Conway

Apache The Shadows

Angel Fingers (Wizard 1973)

Dreadlock Holiday (10CC 1978)

Abba-Esque (Erasure 1992)

Ballad of John & Yoko? (Beatles 1969)

Orinoco Flow (Enya 1988)

Sorry Supermike, whilst I agree with Abba-esque and Ballad of John and Yoko, can I point out the following regarding your other suggestions but:

1. Dreadlock Holiday does include the lyric 'dreadlock holiday' - for example it has the verse/chorus:
I don't like cricket
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
I don't like reggae
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
Don't like Jamaica
I love her (Dreadlock Holiday)

2. Orinoco Flow includes the lineWe can sail, we can sail... with the orinoco flow

3. Angel Fingers has a chorus of
Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I�d sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That�s why I fell in love with you </>

fairytale of new york
the pogues and kirsty mccoll r.i.p

[factor-fiction]

Fairytale of New York has had a few top ten chart runs but never reached number 1.

[catcuddler]

i stand corrected i thought it was number 1 probably because its so popular

[dot.haukes]

was sabre dance number one?

[factor-fiction]

No, Dot, it only reached number 5 I believe.... but it was an instrumental anyway.
