I was looking at a site the lists No 1 singles in the UK, I remeber this song SHADDUP YOU FACE being a huge hit in the UK and spawing the annoying catchphase 'SHADDUP YOU FACE' as annoying response to almost anything. Even now you still some times hear people say it. Was this a hit in the USA/Rest of the world or are you guys not even aware of it?
If you don't know this song at all you really need to hear it do get a feel for how it sounds, I can only descirbe it has a guy the a strong Italian accent(almost comedy accent)
It was good fun......

Joe Dolce was an Aussie comedian. It was a big hit here as well, but I don't remember hearing anything of him after this.
