    In my defense I had nephews who were mad into anything TMNT back in the day.

    Ok so.............

    Which 1977 UK No 1 hit song also entered the Guinness Book of World Records because of one of the notes sung on the track?

    Sorry guys - Roller you have it

    Way Down by Elvis - The last hit he had before his death (other than the bathroom floor obviously). The backing vocalist a southern preacher who sang the way-o-downs at the end of each chorus hits a "C" note two octaves below middle C on the very last note of the song, which was the lowest recorded note made by a human voice.

    So Roller back to you.

    Sorry ! Not Old Trafford either - on the right lines though. Taking the start of the Mersey as being the confluence of the Tame and the Goyt - which is the accepted definition.
