Are you having fun, Steve?

Clue #1

Another band, that never made the song a hit, played it to keep the crowd happy....very confusing??

Did people go to their show expecting a different band? Note to self: look up bands named after (or similarly) to other recording artists, such as a band named "Isaac Haze."

Clue # 2

The song made the band famous, but the band never made the song famous....well sort of....even more confusing???

That could be the case if the song came from a show? The song would be famous, already, coming from a famous show (thinking out loud)

The first two clues also point to the possibility of a song co-opted by sports, such as "You'll Never Walk Alone" but one that actually has the right letters.

Clue # 3

In one country the song peaked at #27 before it peaked at #1...huh???

Well a song can't peak at two different numbers in the same country!

So your ellipses must mean "before it peaked at #1 in a different country" --or Belguim, France, ChooseYourPoison...

I'm guessing USA is #27 which matches "bit of a hit".

Clue # 4 (last before bedtime)

You might want to enlist the help of John Voorpostel...he might know something about it

Note to self: check song lists where taxes, accounting/accountants, and lurkers/lurking are themes... laugh (love you, John)
