Rock & Roll Body Parts Trivia Quiz

Answer: Herman's Hermits

Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits took "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" to the number two position on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts in January 1965. The song was their second U.S. release, following "I'm Into Something Good" which was their initial 1964 release in the U.S. Inexplicably "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" was never released as a single in the group's native U.K. home.

Answer: A television commercial

"No Matter What Shape (Your STOMACH's In)", an instrumental recording, reached number three on the U.S. Billboard charts in 1966 for The T-Bones. The music was from a television advertisement for Alka-Seltzer, a popular, widely used upset stomach remedy. An interesting aside to this is that although The T-Bones never enjoyed another recording as successful as this one, they became a popular 1970s group in a re-incarnation of sorts.

They were Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds ("Don't Pull Your Love").

By the way, the original Alka-Seltzer commercial is available on YouTube if you'd like a laugh.
