Hold tight and enjoy this groovy song from the great Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. This song is dedicated to a special listener in Magdeburg (gibts die Baracke eigentlich noch?). The song was recorded on 11 January 1966 at Fontanas studios in Marble Arch, London and released as a single in February 1966 with the B-side You Know What I Want, and on 24 June 1966, on the bands debut album. The song reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart. This was their first top ten hit, also reaching number 27 on the Australian Singles Chart and number 8 on the NZ Singles Chart. The song did not chart on the US Hot 100, but then again, they saw limited success in the United States as even their top hit, Zabadak, which reached number 3 in the UK and number 4 in New Zealand, only reached number 52 on the US Hot 100. The song was used in the soundtrack to the 2007 Quentin Tarantino film Death Proof, in which Jungle Julia (Sydney Tamiia Poitier) requests the song, calling in to the radio station for which she works, shortly before she and her friends are killed in a car crash instigated by Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell).
