| Someone will know this one. There was an instrumental tune from the 60's named after a satellite. What was it called? |

| The Tornados were the originals I think - wasn't the tune written by Joe Meek? They're all English if you hadn't guessed :p |

| None - he thought they were just another bunch of "Copycats" with nothing to interest him. So he turned them down.
The Phil Spector analogy was that he thought he was the star of everything he did, was a total headcase and ended up shooting a woman. Unlike phil he was as queer as a 4 speed walking stick, but otherwise the similarities are numerous. |
