Crash Test Dummies - mmm mmm mmm mmm
The Mock Turtles - Can you dig it?
Bobby McFerrin - Dont worry be happy

I thought it was "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" which got to about No. 14 or something. It was shit and wasn't helped by the fact that XTC had a single out that week with exactly the same name.
