Correct Sooper, The Great Beyond...
From Wiki...
The Great Beyond" is a song by R.E.M. It is not featured on an original studio album as it was written specifically for the 1999 movie Man on the Moon but was released as a single the following year for support of the film's soundtrack album. The single reached #3 in the UK singles chart, the band's highest ever placing in that country.

so over to you Soops
 
Here's an interesting one...

The following list of famous men have all had something named after them, what is that common something?...

Ronald Reagan
Abraham Lincoln
Winston Churchill
Leonardo da Vinci
Benjamin Britten
Edward Elgar
Samuel Pepys
Freddie Mercury...
 
that was a simple guess, honest...everyone has roses named after them.


OK how did teams from Cambodia, Egypt, Netherlands Spain and Switzerland all compete in the 1956 Olympic games without setting foot in Australia
 
As far as I remember there were a large number of nations which boycotted these games because of the Soviet invasion of Hungary and the Suez crisis (Probably the case with Egypt). Were they there in name but all of their opponents got byes when drawn against them ? The Olympic football tournament 1956 only had 10 or 11 teams in it !
 
nearly right hornet...but no banana...continue along that line....
These countries actually had a team in for certain events in the 1956 Olympic games

Were some events held elsewhere due to horses being unable to enter the country?...
