Hole In My Shoe

Hole In My Shoe is a song by Traffic which as a single release reached #2 in the UK charts in 1967. It is one of the defining tracks of acid rock, although it has ben suggested that Steve Winwood disliked the song, feeling that it did not represent the band's real musical or lyrical style.

In the sitcom The Young Ones, Neil, one of the principal characters, continually sang a recognisable line from Hole In My Shoe. Eventually, in July 1984, Nigel Planer who played the role released a cover version of the song, which reached the same #2 peak as the original.
