Well, this one's stuck in my head right now, and I *REALLY NEED* to get it
out.
I'm looking for the band that did 'Something in the air' from probably the

written and performed by "Thunderclap Newman" in the late 60's, as far as I know.
There is also a 80's cover-version by Marillion's ex-singer Fish.

The original was by Thunderclap Newman in the late 60s, but I've a
feeling there has been a recent cover of it but I don't know by whom.

It was recently covered by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on their
Greatest Hits album.

It was a one-hit wonder group produced by Pete Townshend of the Who called
Thunderclap Newman. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers recently covered the
tune on their greatest hits CD
