Produced by Joe Meek in 1962 this was the first song by a British band to make number one on America's Billboard Hot 100. This led to early US export singles being stickered with the logo, "Look out America, the British are coming" a good year before the arrival of Beatle-mania.
It's also probably the only hit single ever to have been named after a communications satellite.
