"Silhouettes" is a song made famous by the American #doowop group #theRays in 1957, peaking at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. A competing version by #theDiamonds was also successful. In 1965 it was a number 5 hit in the US for #HermansHermits, and in 1990 it was a number 10 hit in the UK for #CliffRichard.

#BusyBodySongsOrPoemsLost control and rang your bell, I was sore
Let me in or else I'll beat down your door
When two strangers who have been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock "you're on the wrong block" -
