James Harkin

Here's a fact from Dave Shaw.

The only UK number one that doesn't contain its own title in the lyrics is... What?

Dave says not.

If I give you the name of the band, you'll absolutely get it.

Wow.

That was like someone throwing a cow patch.

Yeah.

And hitting a bullseye 80 meters away.

Yeah.

Okay, so Dave says, this is what makes the fact amazing.

There's a plot twist halfway through this fact, which I love.

The only UK number one that doesn't contain its own title in the lyrics is Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

It does, however, include the title of the song that succeeded it.

Oh, yeah, it does.

Which is?

Mamma Mia.

Oh.

Okay, of course Yeah, exactly Dave, you've been hearkened, I'm afraid I wish I could remember all of them It was worth it to get there, though Wonderful It's a good fact, it's a classic fact, that one, I would say Dave, that's a devil's take I've been in meetings before where James has said Ah, yes, this is a classic Oh no, that's actually not what we're going for on QI Yeah

Beautiful.

Beautiful.
