[Fiji Hill]

One of the most unusual hits of all time was a French-language ballad of the thirteenth-century Spanish priest Domingo de Guzmán, who preached the Gospel from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, served as a diplomat, and fought in the Albigensian Crusade, a war to suppress a heretical sect. Incredibly, this tune flew past all the songs about love, dancing, surfing and hot rods to land at the top of the charts, where it sat for four weeks at the end of 1963.

This instrumental rocker by a group from Santa Monica, Calif. is unusual in that it features a güiro, a percussion instrument made from a gourd, that comes from Central America. It charted in the early spring of 1961.

Underwater--The Frogmen

[Rebelbase]

A Celtic Rock band called Seven Nations re-did Under the Milky Way using bagpipes for the lead.
