Dermot O'Leary on Radio 2 had Hot Chip as a guest yesterday who played live in the studio a version of John Lennon's "Child of Nature" which, it was explained, was an early working of Jealous Guy (same tune, different words/meaning)... So...imagine that John Lennon didn't write or record Jealous Guy but instead recorded Child of Nature AND either Lennon wasn't shot or maybe Roxy didn't cover one of his songs? Now imagine that Roxy Music DID have one number one hit (in the UK) but it wasn't Jealous Guy cos they didn't cover it. Two-part question: a) which of their genuine single releases was it that made the number one spot? NB It doesn't HAVE to be Love Is The Drug or Dance Away just because they both made no 2. Which of the Roxy singles SHOULD have been no 1 in YOUR opinion? b) which single COULD have been number one if they'd covered it? Maybe an T Rex/Elvis cover in 1977? Or they performed at Diana's funeral and had the world's biggest selling single with a re-recording of her favourite song In Every Dream Home A Heartache? You tell me (and Avalon)... Thanks Dermot...
