♫ Beatles Medley ♫ Stars on 45

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.

Track list for the "Stars on 45 Medley" was the name of the songs that make up the medley:

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.

I don't remember that novelty act! Did they ever actually appear as the Beatles?

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...

This reminds me of pre-teen Saturday afternoons getting dolled up for skate night

...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!

Skating Rink boys pay attention now... I want to Couple Skate!

...see Deano? These music "pieces" are important cultural artifacts

note: I had no idea what a featherclip or feathered roach clip was actually for! I just thought wispy feathers was attractive flying around the skating rink
