Kellogg's invented the corn flake and the brand was created as a result of their invention, but technically I think it's a name of the product. At the same time, if there was a song called "Frosties" or "Coco Pops" I think we'd include that. #CerealChat

April 9Apr 9 I think we need @Popchartfreak for more 60s and 70s ones I already mentioned his fave 10CC - Wall Street Shuffle!

Jeans On was a big hit, but they had to change the lyrics to omit Brutus Jeans. Oddly, film song theme tunes were fine to have in the title.....😮The Bandwagon got away with Blame It On The Pony Express as they weren't actually sending letters and parcels by horse anymore, and by the mid-70's some sneaked in like A Glass Of Champagne - Sailor, probably cos that wasn't treated like a brand name, more of a copyright of the companies in that region!
April 10Apr 10 Nu Shooz - I Can't WaitroseOn a similar and more genuine supermarket theme, Bennett had a #34 single called Mum's Gone To Iceland
