Guess The Song

[gcreptile 10,967]

I assume it's correct...

 

Which UK no. 4 hit is a two-in-one cover?

[YoungWillz 21,037]

Of course you were correct @gcreptile.

It's one song, about 4 minutes long, but basically a medley of two older songs. It covers them both.

[charon 4,943]

So a mash up?

[gcreptile 10,967]

Wikipedia calls it "a medley of covers".

Destination Calabria & People Hold on both fulfill those criteria.

This song

Featured in a film, charted (UK) 12 years later, is popular at funerals.

Not what I was thinking of, and to be more precise, both covered songs appear in the title.

 

Edit: One of these songs covered is a huge 60s hit with a prominent horn melody, the other one is a single from an epic "American" rock album, but not by an American band.

You'll never walk alone?

 

Edit - I  know that's wrong now and I know what it is but not sure if I'm allowed a second go at the same one.

Luther van utter Dross.

 

Love Power/Power of Love?

 

 

* I had been working out a Power of Love question the other day and came across this as a 4th tho not in the same year.

Disco Inferno was in Saturday Night Fever, and defo charted a decade or so later.

 

"Burn baybee burn" wid be popular choice by widowers I'd imagine.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. 

[Toast 16,137]

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.

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

[charon 4,943]

Wow. Andre Previn is 90 in April.

Wid not have guessed that.

 

[Off topic but interesting, he was a nominee]

That's the one. (Disco inferno doesn't fulfill the requirements as far as I can tell).

[the_engineer 1,415]

Ok I have one for you. Which duet reached number 1 in the UK 11 years after one of the artists deaths?

[Handrejka 1,903]

Thanks.

 

Here's mine {I'm aware Toast's is still unanswered}. 

 

I'm bending the rules a bit as the song is not a favourite ,  in fact I intensely dislike it. However, it was co-written by the co-lead in one of my favourite tv programmes.

Not that one, but I do dislike it. The song I'm thinking of isn't generally disliked as far as I know. 

 

Further clues, Ivor Novello award winning song, a hit in the 50s, singer  is still alive, both writers are deceased.
