There are a couple of obvious candidates like 10cc - Dreadlock Holiday, or Booker T - Soul Limbo. After that, it's a struggle.

no nothing run of the mill like that mate

used to be a chorus that went cricky cricky cricky cricket!!!

was a trojan type reggae track

played a lot on luxembourg if my memory is correct

Didn't think so, to be honest, nor Lord Beginner - Cricket Lovely Cricket, which is Calypso anyway. It's a good question you've posed :g: .
