Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)? by Peter Sarstedt was a UK number 1 hit on Wednesday, February 26, 1969 spending 4 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. This song is about a young girl born in poverty in Naples, Italy, who grows up to become a member of the jet-set. Who is this woman Sarstedt was singing about? It's clearly a composite, as no one person fits the description, but the singer had taken up with a Danish dental student named Anita Atke, whom he later married. She may not have worn bespoke outfits by Balmain, but she probably owned some Rolling Stones records. Sarstedt said the song was about "a generic European girl," but cited Atke as an influence.
