Legendary songwriter/producer Phil Spector, workd with many gret recording acts from the Beatles to the Righteous Brothers to Cher and more. But did you know he once wrote a song for Lucille Ball?
Now, it can be told.
An episode from the 1966–67 season of The Lucy Show, "Lucy Flies to London," set up the spin-off TV special “Lucy in London,” which saw her character, Lucy Carmichael, swingin' around mod London. It's certainly a capsule of its era, with Mary Quant mini-skirts, dance routines and the Dave Clark Five.
"Wall of Sound" producer Spector contributed the special’s theme song, also providing the track’s lead vocal! It's thick with '60s slang. "With her mini-skirt on / She got in with the Mods / And she really became top gear." If you’re interested, you can hear the tune and watch video from the special here.
