The first film grossed $100million and the second over $250million. Thats how they know the song. Plus it got plenty of radio & TV exposure this side of the pond.. An additional clue... It is, apparently, a popular tune with strippers.

I thought of a singer/songwriter, been around for donkeys years, under-appreciated in the UK; had a prominent film-score song a few years back, maybe, I though, he could fit the bill.
