Over a year ago I heard it on the local college radio station and was obsessed w/ finding out who it was... lucky about a year ago I found it on Limewire and was really happy when it made it into the charts this year. I love it!

It's not a sample, as far as I know - it's singer Penny Shaw performing the operatic part. It's an arie from the opera "Mefistofele" by Italian Arrigo Boito and it's called "L'altra notte in fondo al mare".\n\nArne S.

I don't know about #1 but according to Guinness the shortest UK top ten was a song called 'United States of Whatever' by Liam Lynch, which was 1:26. It peaked at #10, so whatever the shortest #1 is, it must be longer.\n\nI've never heard it. The accompanying picture shows a relatively geeky-looking guy strumming a guitar about as big as he is.

Only one.\n\nPitney had two #2 hits during his heyday in the '60s, "I'm Gonna Be Strong" (1965) and "Nobody Needs Your Love" (1966).  He didn't score a #1 until 1989, when he duetted with Mark Almond on "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart," which spent four weeks at the top of the British singles chart in February of that year.

I believe you're referring to the song "Lonley Boy".  I can't remember who sings it offhand, but the song came out I'd say, in the 1970's.\n   "he was born on a summer day, 1951..."   "oh...oh what a lonley boy...oh what a lonley boy...oh what a lonley boy!"
