UB40 - "How Many People"
Simple Minds ca. 1989 - "Figure Of Eight"
Stevie Wonder - "What's That You're Doing" (well, Wonder helped him write it, and also provided vocals...)
10cc - "The Pound Is Sinking"
Late 19th Century Vaudeville: "You Gave Me No Answer"
Donovan - "Mother Nature's Child"

Btw. "Pretty Little Head", possibly his worst ever single, sounds nothing like Genesis (nor McCartney...)

Btw. "Pretty Little Head", possibly his worst ever single, sounds nothing like Genesis (nor McCartney...)I'm talking "Tonight Tonight Tonight"-era Genesis. Not only is Press To Play produced by Hugh Padgham, but unless I'm wrong, they also do a lot of that pseudo-native people-type crap on that song.

John Barry meets Henry Mancini: "Live And Let Die" (like most Bond tunes, anyway....)
