Puppet on a String

Puppet on a String by Sandie Shaw was a UK number 1 hit on Thursday, April 27, 1967 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. "Puppet On A String" was the winning entry for the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest, and the first such win for the UK. This "Puppet On A String" is not to be confused with an earlier song of the same name that was recorded by Elvis Presley. Despite the song's success, Sandie despised the recording. She later said she hated it "from the very first oompah to the final bang on the bass drum. I was repelled by its sexist drivel."
