Songfacts®:

  • In an October 2011 interview with Graham Nash, his Hollies bandmate Allan Clarke said: "That was a terrible song!... I don't like to say that I had anything to do with the writing of that song, honestly... It was a fun song. We were experimenting with different sounds and different ways of writing songs. That's what those albums were more or less about. I thought the album A Crazy Steal was beautiful. We thought that we had a chance of getting hits with the newer songs we were making because they were different and more in the American way, but it wasn't meant to be. The songs are still there though and they still sound great."
  • "Wiggle That Wotsit" was co-written by Clarke with bandmates Tony Hicks and Terry Sylvester. It is the first track on the 1976 Russian Roulette album, and was released as a single on the Polydor label backed by the non-album track "Corrine." >>
