Bis - Kandy Pop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA-klHp-nk4

First unsigned band on TOTP. I went to primary school with two of them.

[Piersman2]

The Chaps - Rawhide.

I had the picture disc version of this for some reason!

[Morningside]

Sex Pistols - Friggin in the Riggin. Amazingly got to No. 3 in 1979. I bet they did not play this on TOTP. I can remember this at school being played all the time in the youth club.

Lyrics are really NSFW! You have been warned!

Quantum Jump - Lone Ranger

The last verse is very odd!

[Fugazi]

I don't know whether this counts as an oddity, but a singer from a metal band, doing Wuthering Heights, in the original key as sung by Kate Bush.. Amazing..

Anyone remember the Barron Knights?
They used to do dreadful parodies of current hit records in the late '70s and early '80s.

[Morningside]

Another one:
Chalk Dust - The Umpire Strikes Back. Peaked at No 19 in 1982.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goqXf4gp9sQ

[technodup]

Number 1 in 30 countries. 2 billion views on Youtube. For a pop dance tune sung in Korean. Don't get much odder than that.

Psy- Gangnam Style
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

[Morningside]

The Singing Postman - 'Hev Yew Gotta Loight Boy?' 1964. Not charted but was a well known "underground" hit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqmXLkJ8Bwk

The Wurzels - Combine Harvester (Brand New Key) No 1 1976.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9rQmyAxS3U

Their first hit was "Call Up The Groups" back in 64, pretty sure I've still got the single somewhere

NSFW, and banned by all radio stations, but still got to no. 22 in the charts.

[Meteor Madness]

Another one NSFW, even though it would have been Ireland's Xmas no.1 in 2010 if it wasn't for the X Factor.

The Rubberbandits ~ Horse Outside

[Hackney]

I've got that. I've always wondered who was behind it.
