Soul Man - Sam and Dave
Seven Seas ~ Echo & the Bunnymen

Soul Man was by Sam & Dave.
There was a duo Chas & Dave, who had a no 2 with Ain't No Pleasing You. It was held off the no 1 spot by the Goombay Dance Band with Seven Tears.
However, I prefer the trendier Seven Seas to Seven Tears...

Fly Like an Eagle ~ Steve Miller Band

Jenny Frost from Atomic Kitten was born in Wallasey. The MP for Wallasey is Angela Eagle, hence my choice of song with Eagle in the title.

Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band
Hanging Around (Part Two) - Polyphonic Spree

An eagle is two below par at golf. If you place the word two below par it spells par two, which sounds like part two if you say it quickly.
