1970 - Norman Greenbaum, 1986 - Dr and the Medics, and now Gareth Gates, 2003.
Was GG's version No.1? If it was that's all three versions at the top spot.
Yes, it certainly was. But is there a curse on the song? Doctor and the Medics never made the Top 20 again, Norman Greenbaum never had another hit of any magnitude, and the Kumars will surely not be back in the charts again...
Dont get confused, Gareth realeased it prior to Comic Relief without the Kumars first of all (I presumed it was so that people who hadnt heard the track before could be aquanted with it before there special feature). I think this is right, if Im wrong please correct me.
