Ritt Momney was a Salt Lake City based garage band, taking their name from a tongue-in-cheek spoonerism on Utah. So why that song? It's one his mom played all the time when he was little, and then he happened to hear it again during quarantine. It peaked at 30 in the US and 25 in the UK. "It makes me feel like less of a business person, and more an artist, when I get messages like that." "And not that I can be, like, taking the credit for that - because it's what Corrine did that's helping them through that - but yeah, it is a really cool feeling," he adds.

His re-imagining of Corinne Bailey Rae's 2006 hit " Put Your Records On" has become an unlikely success - and he thinks it's because the song's positive message is "the opposite of everything that's happening in the world."
