Did You Know? Wild Thing was released by the Troggs in 1966 and it reached number 1 in the charts. Strangely it was released by two labels at the same time and was the only song to reach number 1 for two record labels at the same time.

Did You Know? Shallow was written between filming A Star Is Born and is sung from the perspective of the two main characters. It was originally intended for the end credits of the film but was later moved to feature at a pivotal moment in the plot as the characters relationship deepens. 

It is Lady Gaga's biggest chart successes reaching number 1 in over 20 countries. 

Did You Know? Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad was released by Meat Loaf in 1977. It was written by Jim Steinman who was complaining that nobody liked his songs to a cast member of his musical Mimi Kennedy so she told him it's because his songs were so complicated. At this point Elvis came on the radio singing 'I Want You, I Need You, I Love You' so Mimi gave it as an example of a simple song. That night Jim went home with the intention of writing a simple song and came up with Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad. 

The Japanese release of the song translates the title as A 66% Seduction! 

Did You Know? Still The Same was written in 1978 and is about a gambler who is at first admired by the singer but who he eventually walks away from because he will not change. 

Did You Know? Stay was originally written in 1953 by a 15 year old Maurice Williams, becasue he was trying to convince his date not to go home at 10pm. The original recording is the shortest single ever to reach the top of the US music charts. It was later recorded by the Four Seasons, Jackson Browne, The Hollies and Cyndi Lauper.

Did You Know? Blitzkreig Bop was The Ramones very first single and the first track on their very first album both released in 1976. it was written by drummer Tommy Ramone and bass player Dee Dee Ramone. Rolling Stone rated Blitzkreig Bop as 31 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time and 18 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs Of All Time. It was originally called 'Animal Hop'.

Did You Know? Bob Seger wrote Night Moves after watching the film American Graffiti. The coming of age song is autobiographical and he wanted to capture the "Freedom and looseness" of his teens. It took Bob over 6 months to finish writing the song but only 9 takes to record and it was the song that turned Bob from a popular regional favourite to a national star.

Did You Know? Mary's Boy Child was written in 1956 by Jester Hairston. It used the melody from the folk song Bingo (Bingo was his name-o). The first recording was by Harry Belafonte and was the first UK no 1 to have a playing time over 4 minutes long. It's since been recorded multiple times by other artists famously by Bony M in 1988. 

Did You Know? Fairytale Of New York took 2 years to write with multiple recordings and rewrites to perfect it. Surprisingly it's never been no.1 in the charts at Christmas time, but it's been in the UK top 20, 17 different times and it's the most played Christmas song of all time there.

It could have been called 'Christmas Time In The Drunk Tank' as suggested to the band by Elvis Costello but Singer Shane MacGowan decided instead to name the song after the novel A Fairy Tale of New York by J.P. Donleavy which fellow Pogue Jim Finer had left lying around the recording studio.  

Did You Know? Play Me was the first single from Neil Diamond's 1972 album Moods. it was also the first time Neil collaborated with his long term guitar player Richard Bennett who played the arpeggiated chords in the song. Strangely, the lyrics have been debated in academic circles because it uses the word 'brang' instead of 'brought'
