A little bit of fun for a Sunday. The competition is open now, and closes at 9pm tonight (UK time).
On offer as a prize is a signed HB 1st edition, 2nd print (1/2) of Alastair Campbell's The Blair Years from 2007. It was the first insider diary of the Blair era, released only two weeks after Blair stood down, and was even televised by BBC2 as three part series. 816 pages.
To win this book, please answer the following question by private message, and do not leave the answer in this post. If more than one person gets the correct answer I will do a draw for a winner.
Cherie Blair's husband's father-in-law starred in a popular tv series in the 60s and 70s. His on screen father-in-law coined a nickname for him that became well known. An American band heard this while over on tour and released a single with the nickname as the title.
Which band released the single in 1967?
Clue: it was given an alternate title in the UK in fear the original title may be taboo with the British public.
