    Sleeper music hits

    Think of a song that didn't make much impression on the charts (or low position if it did) bur is always remembered fondly. My choice would be the original Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood version of "Summer Wine" (video upload please). Lana del Ray also did a decent cover.
