Toast

No. To clarify, the song was nominated for an Oscar but didn't win.

Oscar-nominated song about a man facing death, never released as a single or on a studio album by the artist. Same artist/songwriter won an Oscar for another song which was a global hit.

Course you are.

Which UK no. 4 hit is a two-in-one cover? Pet Shop Boys: Where The Streets Have No Name/Can't Take My Eyes Off You

I don't need it explaining, fanx.

I want to say Sheer Heart Attack by Queen, but it's an album title and not a song

Yes!

I had Duran Duran and The The, but there is another I had in mind. From the 80s.

Slightly different one. Name three bands whose names consist of the same word repeated.

I bet there must be loads of jokes about being a tight end or a wide receiver.

In that case I feel sorry for her. But I really don't think looking closely would help.

Is this the clue?

Denis by Blondie? Can't remember if it was a No 1 though.

It wasn't all about the opening post, though. I did say And I gave further clues and clarifications along the way.

No, it doesn't. It's not an original song by a British artist.

Cat has it! Chris Farlowe's is magnificent, but here's the Stones' unabridged original in all its five minute glory.. Over to you, Cat. I gotta go out now, but keep em coming.

I said favourite song It ticks some of the boxes, but no! Marmalade had a few hits, I think.

Well, there's no such doubt about the song I'm thinking about. Written and recorded by British artist who had many hits, but not with this song. Pretty much a one-hit wonder for the cover artist, although still recording and performing.

Nope. I don't think Joe Meek was a recording artist, was he? The artist(s) in this case had many hits. And had a hand in the hit cover version.

Good shout, but that's not it.

No, it wasn't released as a single in the 60s by the original artist, and not a hit for them.

How very defeatist. Of course it can't be "anything". It's restricted to UK No 1's for a start. I'll clarify that it was a No 1 in the 1960s as my phrasing didn't make it obvious.

I'm considering submitting a theme team called "People That Normal People Have Actually Heard Of".

To be fair, Ronnie Wood was a reasonable pick at the time as he was known to have lung cancer and was quoted as saying he wouldn't have chemo because he didn't want to lose his hair. The news of his remission (if that's the right word) came later.
