NHO Royals, but I should have thought of the Kansas City song because I am on a Beatles kick right now, and at this moment I am on Mr. Moonlight listening to Beatles for Sale. Wouldn't have thought of Kansas City even if I was listening to it.
EDIT: The second I clicked "Submit", "Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey" started playing.

The only British* Beatles album in which every song was penned by Lennon-McCartney.
