"Hole in My Shoe" is a song by English rock band Traffic which as a single release reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart[1] and number 22 in the German charts, in 1967.[2] Composed by guitarist Dave Mason, it was disliked by the other three members of the group who felt that it did not represent the band's musical or lyrical style.[3]
Cover version
In the BBC sitcom The Young Ones, Neil, one of the principal characters, often sang a line from the song. Eventually, in July 1984, Nigel Planer, who played Neil, recorded a cover version of the song, which reached the same number 2 peak as the original.[4] His version featured Barbara Gaskin on backing vocals and was produced by Dave Stewart.[5]
