"Mr. Rock & Roll" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald, released on 16 July 2007. It was her first full single after the limited online release of "Poison Prince",[1] and was released on CD and 7" vinyl. It charted at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart—peaking atop the Scottish Singles Chart in the process—and reached the top 10 in Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The song is the first track on Macdonald’s debut album This Is the Life, and is her most successful single in the UK so far.
