Do you mean Cheryl Cole?
Well, this is easy ![]() Within You Without You was a song written by Beatles guitarist George Harrison. The bass player of The Beatles was Sir Paul McCartney. Sir Paul McCartney appeared on The X Factor in 2009, a show on which there have, in the past been. Beatles themed weeks. Cheryl Cole was a former judge on the show. She had a number one single with Fight For This Love. Hope I did that right :S Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana To The Sky - Owl City |

Speak Like A Child – The Style Council
The Only Living Boy In New York – Simon and Garfunkel The Style Council were formed in 1983 by Mick Talbot and Paul Weller. Paul Weller previously turned out for an obscure group called The Jam. If you smear Jam onto your bread with just your fingers, you would end up with Sticky Fingers. Sticky Fingers was the name of The Rolling Stones 1971 album. The combined ages of the current members of the Stones is 269. 269 expressed in Roman numerals is CCLXIX. The Romans were told to go home (Romat Ite Domum??) by Brian of Nazareth in the Life of Brian. Brian was played by Graham Chapman, alongside fellow Pythons, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and John Cleese. John Cleese starred in A Fish Called Wanda with Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie Lee Curtis starred with Sylvester Stallone in True Lies. Sylvester Stallone featured in six Rocky movies as a Boxer. The Boxer was a 1969 UK Top ten hit for Simon & Garfunkel and was included on their iconic album Bridge Over Troubled Water. Sinitta - So Macho Happy Mondays - Step On |

I had to look all this up after my horrendous mistake confusing a Cheryl Cole song I'd not heard with a Girls Aloud song above.
Sinitta - So Macho Happy Mondays - Step On Sinitta reportedly dated Simon Cowell for twenty years As a judge on Britain's Got Talent one of Cowell's favoured acts was the Circus Of Horrors featuring "Captain Dan" Blackner, "The Demon Dwarf" In the South African Xhosa language a demon dwarf is known as a "tokoloshe" "Tokoloshe Man" was a No. 4 hit in 1971 for John Kongos "He's Gonna Step On You Again" was also a No.4 hit in 1971 for John Kongos This song was later covered by the Happy Mondays as "Step On" Happy Mondays - Step On The End Of The World - Skeeter Davis |

Stone Roses were famous for using the work of Jackson Pollock on their record sleeves. JP died in a car crash. Meat Loaf had a song called 'Object In The Resr View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are', advice perhaps that Pollock should have heeded.

Some Girls - Racey Arthur - Rick Wakeman The Rolling Stones feature frontman Mick Jagger, Maroon 5 paid homage recently on their chart-topper "Moves Like Jagger". Five had a big hit with Keep on Movin, which was the same title of a track by Soul II Soul. David Soul once sung about a Silver Lady, whereas Paul McCartney sung about Lady Madonna. In 1983 Macca took Pipes of Peace to number 1 in the charts with a video that re-enacted British and German troops playing football in no-mans land during World War 1. The World War 1 trenches was the setting for the 4th instalment of Blackadder. In Blackadder, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig was played by Geoffery Palmer, Geoffrey subsequently narrated the brilliant Grumpy Old Men series on the BBC. The best "Grumpy old man" on this series was Rick Wakeman. ![]() The Clash - I Fought The Law Richard Marx - Hazard |

Tom Jones was mates with Elvis, who was in turn mates with Engelbert Humperdinck.
Engelbert (unfairly imo) finished nearly last in this years Eurovision Song Contest, wheras Sandie Shaw won with Puppet on a String in the 60's. Mansun's promo video for Legacy features just puppet versions (on string) of the band. ![]() or Tom Jones had a big hit with Help Yourself, whilst Mansun threw away £25000 in £5 notes onto the concourse of Liverpool Street Station for their "Taxloss" video - The commuters duly Helped Themselves !! ![]() REM - The Great Beyond Split Enz - I Got You |
