Naughty Naughty Naughty / Letters Of Love

Product Information

Maybe, although I firmly believe Hilda’s participation added to the song’s interest and most certainly contributed to it achieving the top spot on The Hit Parade. As well as being one of the figures on the front cover of Wings ‘ Band On The Run,’ LP, Conteh also appeared in 70s films ‘ Man At The Top‘ and, strangely, ‘ The Stud‘ with Joan Collins in a career low. The song "Naughty Naughty Naughty", was a novelty love song between the singer and Mr Punch, and reached Number 26 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1977. The contest was won that year by the lovely Severine (female singers were only known by their first names in those days) representing Monaco with the excellent Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. My first memory of this song was being told about it in the school playground the day after MOTR appeared on TOTP having got to No. The Arsenal squad which won the double in 1971 released ‘ Good Old Arsenal‘ with words by a certain Jimmy Hill to the tune of ‘ Rule Brittania. On listening to this awful version it seems inexplicable that such a terrible vocal and utterly bland production could be a hit, a No. At a stretch I can understand why some misguided people, though not many, will have parted with some cash to have a copy of numbers 1 and 2 in this list of Hit Parade ignominy.His CV becomes a little more interesting in a bizarre way, when in 1959 he produced the UK’s entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, Sing Little Birdie by Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson.

The three-TV channel decades of the 60s and 70s meant that if an artist became popular thanks to the show they were in, they became VERY big indeed and such was the case with Telly Savalas and his hit show, Kojak.But a talking record only has so much mileage and his follow up to the super-successful ‘ If‘, pretty much bombed. Without the cache of being a ‘novelty hit’, it might have been viewed as an interesting example of left-field pop.

Anyone who has read this section of my little blog space will know that some of the titles featured are records which should have been strangled before birth. C. run out to at Boundary Park, it is banger racing’s theme tune, it was even used in New Zealand to advertise their national lottery and Charlie Watts named a racehorse after it.Ask anyone over a certain age (OK 55-ish), which single sums up the tackiness of the 70s for them and a fair number might choose this song. It sounded oddly similar to Mouldy Old Dough and I was also vaguely aware that Lieutenant Pigeon was linked to Stavely Makepeace.
