My 5 are #s 1,7,10,15 and 20.
I remember watching the Stones perform #7 on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was younger.
Sullivan got Mick to agree to change the lyric to "Let's Spend Some Time Together" .
In protest The Bad Boys of Rock allegedly stormed off the set disappeared for a short
time and returned wearing Nazi Uniforms.Can't remember if any of it was shown on camera.
Sullivan apparently was not amused and banned them from ever being on the show again.
We can always count on you Punch to entertain us.Thanks.

I know that's more than 5, but oh well! Interesting about the Cliff Richard song. I know Kitty Wells had a song "It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels" (and that was in 1952!).
