Bryan Adams explains why Summer of 69 flopped in the UK

Summer of 69 is Bryan Adams' signature song - a rock hymn to forming your first band and falling in love that's become the star's most-streamed single.

But amazingly, it flopped in the UK - only reaching number 42 in the charts when it was released in 1984.

Obviating the question, why on earth would a politician - Greek or not - have an f'in' Web Site?!
