As we head up to Yorkshire for the weekend we are driving into 'Heartbeat' territory. Having been watching re-runs on itv3 of this series for the best part of a year now, music from the 60s as used in the shows is in order.
With such a wealth of great songs to choose from picking one is not easy. Narrowing it down to a group not previously featured on the FMS helps. 
This track has been used a few times, often in chase sequences and ideal for a police drama series. British group The Dave Clark Five with a 2 minute pop song 'Catch Us If You Can'. 
From 1965 it was the title song for the film of the same name, which was retitled 'Having a Wild Weekend' in the United States. The single reached number five in the UK and number four in the US.
I really like the middle section's harmonica passage from sax player Denis Payton > DC5
