If you think this song's title is long and cumbersome, you should see "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict." However, it is the longest-titled #1 charting song to date.

(Deep breath...) "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" was B. J. Thomas' second #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, his other being "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head." He also scored many #1s on the Adult Contemporary and Country charts, being something of a cross-genre sensation. Still, this hit came after a long period of waning (though still considerable) popularity.

According to the biography on his site, B. J. Thomas was about ready to settle to a home life with his wife and three daughters in recent decades, but his songs kept popping up in odd places. Like, for instance, "Raindrops" in the film Spider-Man 2, which gave him the idea to look into the Internet market - where he discovered millions of fans he'd barely known he had.

This was written by Chips Moman and Larry Butler, who played together in a band called The Gentrys. Moman and Butler made their biggest impact as producers, with Moman doing a lot of work with The Box Tops, and Butler producing Kenny Rogers.

Other artists to record this song include Loretta Lynn, Frankie Laine, and Ray Conniff.
