The title track of his 1984 album, The Riddle was a Top Ten hit for 80's pop superstar Nik Kershaw, and is celebrated with this reimagined Nik Kershaw The Riddle T-Shirt.

The "riddling" lyrics caused much puzzlement and speculation among listeners as to their meaning, Kershaw claims that there is in fact no meaning at all, simply being a "guide vocal" thrown together to fit the music.
