The copyright for any film and images and music on this video remains the property of the respective owners. No infringement is intended. is a song made popular in 1971 by Middle of the Road for whom it was a UK number one chart hit. Lally Stott's version Written by Harold Stott (known professionally as Lally Stott), it was a minor hit in Italy and Australia for the composer, as well as on the Billboard Hot 100, where it charted but failed to achieve significant success as the cover by Mac and Katie Kissoon became more popular. Stott's record company Philips were reluctant to release it overseas so he offered it to Scottish folk-pop group Middle Of The Road who were working in Italy at the time. The song became a large hit on the continent initially but became a hit in the UK as returning holidaymakers searched out a copy. It nearly flopped in the UK as Mac and Katie Kissoon released a version just before them, but aided by the patronage of DJ Tony Blackburn it became a massive hit. It reached #1 in the UK for five weeks in June 1971, the Kissoon version failed to chart in the UK but reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Dismissed by critics as bubblegum at the time, a view initially agreed upon by band leader Ken Andrews, We were as disgusted with the thought of recording it as most people were at the thought of buying it. But at the end of the day, we liked it. It was later referenced in the Denim song Middle of the Road in 1992, and more recently covered by novelty act Cartoons. It is featured in the Neil Jordan film Breakfast on Pluto. The song has been covered in many languages, including Vietnamese, Korean, Spanish and German. A dance song in German to the same tune, Reiss die Hütte ab (Tear the hut down), was recorded by Mickie Krause (Apres Ski Hits 2003). PJ Harvey song Nina In Ecstasy contains an interpolation of the lines "Where's your mama gone (Where's your mama gone) / Far far away". British band Top of the Poppers covered the song on their Top of the Pops, Volume 18 album. The name of the song was was parodied in the title of Father Ted episode Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep.
