Smokey / Gene Pitney Questions

[Gointoagogo]

After another of my regular Smokey sessions I thought I'd ask if any of you knowledgeable people can help me with something that's been buggin me for ages as I'm sure that my memory is playing tricks on me.

Whenever I listen to "Don't think it's me" I keep thinking I've heard it recently (well say last 10 years or so) by one of those boy bands. Am I imagining this?

Also when I listen to "Just losing you" (what a track!) the intro is the same - or very similar to Gene Pitney - " half heaven half heartache" which reminded me of something else that's been gnawing away at me years.

I can't get the idea out of my head that I heard a cover version of this( well same backing track) at a niter back in the 90's - round about the time Droylsden started - any ideas of what it could be or is it just my imagination running away with me
