"Chirpy Chirpy, Cheep Cheep" is a song recorded in 1970 by its composer Lally Stott, [5] and made popular in 1971 by Scottish band Middle of the Road, for whom it was a UK #1 chart hit. [6] That version is one of fewer than fifty singles to have sold more than ten million physical copies worldwide.
In 1971, the group Middle of the Road was formed, and Carr had success with songs such as "Soley Soley" and "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep". Following the death of her mother Cecilia, Carr found it difficult to sing the lines "Where's your Mama gone?" and "Woke up this morning and my Mama was gone" from that song. [5]
Doris Troy (born Doris Elaine Higginsen; January 6, 1937 – February 16, 2004) [2] [3] was an American R&B singer and songwriter, known to her fans as "Mama Soul". Her biggest hit was " Just One Look ", a top 10 hit in 1963.
According to Susan M. Doll in her book Understanding Elvis, the song "features a common characteristic of country music — the passive acceptance of the singer's fate and the subsequent melancholy it brings," as the person who sings the song "passively resigns himself to the fact" that his girl is gone. [8] Musically, it is a rockabilly ballad.
The device was imitated by John Sebastian in the Lovin' Spoonful song "Darling Be Home Soon" (1966), and by Kenny Loggins in the song "I'm Alright" (1980). "Words of Love" was the second single from the album, released in November 1966 as a double A-side with "Dancing in the Street". The record reached No. 5 in the US.
