“Hot, Hot Hot” by Buster Poindexter
Biffy there’s yet a third song entitled “Run, Run, Run”. This was by JoJo Gunne (sp?) and was a modest hit around the summer of 1972.
There was also another song entitled: “Talk Talk” by the Music Machine. (late 1966).
I put it to those here assembled that the OP’s signature example doesn’t count, as the title is actually “Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight).”
Oh, and did anyone say “Hot Hot Hot” by Buster Poindexter yet?
It’s a shame that * The The* don’t seem to have produced any.

I was listening to a countdown of the top five hits of last week’s date in 1969. They introduced the segment with a recap of what a tumultuous year it was, and rhetorically wondered what kind of world-changing music came out of that time? “Everyday People” I believe started it off, then “Come Together” and maybe the Stones. And then to cap off the hardcore revolutionary sounds? “Sugar Sugar”!!
