My entry for this week is Acapella by Kelis. Why? Coz Don't Worry, Be Happy became the first a cappella song to reach number one on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart.

@borderpup
Dis week I choose 'Eloise' by The Damned.  Why?  becos Captain Sensible had a solo hit wiv 'Happy Talk' , and Eloise was a big hit for his group, who were The Damned.
