At the time he released "Living Doll," Cliff's backing band were known as The Drifters, so we could have the real Drifters with "Under The Boardwalk."

That's just asking for something by the Sweet - maybe "Blockbuster". But no!
I'm going for "John Wayne is big leggy" by Haysi Fantayzee from 1982.
Pour quoi?
One of John Wayne's big film hits was, of course, "The Searchers" (1956, I think)

"Don't Kill The Whale" by Yes.
(Not one of the band's best known songs, but it did creep into the lower reaches of the UK charts).

BOC were one hit wonders in the UK. "Don't fear the reaper" was their only UK single to hit the charts.
The same can be said for many artists and singles but I'm going for Jilted John by Jilted John.

Jilted John is a bloke who's been dumped by his girlfriend in favour of someone else - with "It's My Party" by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin, the boy (also called John) is doing the dumping.

In the " Chicken Song" we have the line "Buy a jumbo jet " - instead of a jumbo jet perhaps we could buy a Lear jet.
So I give you "Money" by Pink Floyd

And Bernard Cribbens was, of course, the "voice talent" for the Wombles TV series in the 70's.
So let's have one of their hits. I'm tempted by "Wombling Merry Christmas" but I think I'll go for that old crowd pleaser "Remember You're A Womble"

Michael Caine is an actor and so is Robert de Niro.
So I offer you (courtesy of Mr D) [url= http://www.lyrics007.com/Bananarama%20Lyrics/Robert%20De%20Niro's%20Waiting%20Lyrics.html]Robert de Niro's Waiting[/url]
Ans sadly, I was grumbling for quite some time about the link between Cliff Richard and Vera Lynn.
"I wish people would put their reasoning ...grumble grumble"
"For what?" asks Mr D
"What's the link between Cliff Richard and There'll be blubirds over the white...oh yes..." I said and slunk away. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)
ETA bugger I messed up the code. Let's see if it works this time.

Dormouse, it took me ages to get the Cliff/Vera Lynn connection as well! (in fact I almost posted to ask what it was).
From Robert de Niro it's an obvious move to 'I'm in love with a German film star' by The Passions.

Another link by Mr D (he's thwarted by The Real Thing on Radio 2 as he doesn't listen to the show live, and so can't join in. This gives him an opportunity to show off...)
Norwegian Wood by the Beatles.
Why? asked I. Because German/Norwegian?
Nothing so simple, I'm afraid.
Passion is a fruit.
So is an apple.
Apple was The Beatles' record label.
Hence something by The Beatles.
Why Norwegian Wood, I wonder (which I had never heard of). Well, maybe the link can just be German/Norwegian then...

OK, this might be a little convoluted (or maybe not)
In "Prince Charming" we have the words "Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you
"
which made me think of a song I knew. After some humming I remembered which it was.
In Quicksilver by Renaissance we have the words "Once I saw you, leather and lace
..."
And so: "Quicksilver" by Renaissance. The link being leather.
ETA That was my link this time, not Mr D's!
