Almost. That was 1979.
Absolutely phenomenal song, no doubt, but “pop”? It wasn’t released as a single, and never charted (unlike “Only Shallow,” which did hit the Modern Rock tracks.) Seems to be disqualified on grounds of not being pop.
The song was December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) (1976), by The Four Seasons.
Under Pressure, Bowie and Mercury
Come on Eileen, Dexy’s Midnight Runners
