Nooooo. As much as I love that choon, I'd have said that Sailing by Rod Stewart is more well known.

Brass in Pocket, Take it on the run, Iron Maiden!!

Yeah, there's a few well known ones. But Sailing was/is I'd imagine the most well known?

Then it's a toss up between The Buggles and Brass in Pocket imho

 

[Nokkie]
