Stars on 45 (known in some countries as Starsound) were a Dutch novelty pop act that was briefly very popular in the UK, Europe and the U.S. in the very early 1980s. The voice of John Lennon was Bas Muys, Paul McCartney was Okkie Huysdens, and George Harrison was Hans Vermeulen. This Beatles Medley went to Number 1 in the US, and Number 2 in the UK, and several follow up records did well too.
Intro Venus / Sugar Sugar / No Reply / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Do You Want to Know a Secret / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going to Lose That Girl / Stars on 45
This single continues to hold the record for a #1 single with the longest name on the Billboard charts, due to the legalities requiring each song title be listed.
Unless someone has already done it, I hope you have no intention of posting The Chicken Song or Star Trekkin', Ladybug! There were some serious crimes against music in the 80s...
...turning up the tv loud enough to hear Solid Gold from the bathroom mirror. Blue eyeshadow, cream rouge, strawberry lip gloss applied generously, feathered hair in place w/ a ton of Aqua Net, pink airbrushed t-shirt, Calvins (don't forget the featherclip), a heavy dousing of Loves Baby Soft and I'm ready to go!
