OK, so no-one knew that the last “Name That Tune” was Joss Stone singing “Right To Be Wrong”. It was certainly a hit this side of the Atlantic, but maybe never crossed the great Duckpond, I dont know. Its always a little difficult to know which songs were hits in the USA when living in a different continent. Ah well…

Todays song is another I’m not too sure of… over here it was a massive hit a few year ago, but on your side? Give it a try

All Music Guide has Billboard chart positions for each artist. The Joss Stone song was #27 on the “Adult Top 40″ chart.

I thought this sounded like somebody other than Serge Gainsbourg, along with Jane Birkin. I cheated and found out that it’s Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with Kylie Minogue, doing Where the Wild Roses Grow.

Don’t know the song, but the singers sound perhaps like Richard Thompson and Kate Bush.
