Sandie Shaw - Puppet On A String (1967)
Video Overview & Insights
Sandie Shaw, MBE (born Sandra Ann Goodrich; 26 February 1947) is an English singer. One of the most successful British female singers of the 1960s, she had three UK number one singles with "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (1964), "Long Live Love" (1965) and "Puppet on a String" (1967). With "Puppet on a String", she became the first British entry to win the Eurovision Song Contest. She returned to the UK top 40, for the first time in 15 years, with her 1984 cover of the Smiths song "Hand in Glove". Shaw announced her retirement from the music industry in 2013.
She looked like a 30 years old woman here.

The acting is terrible. Her emotions are so exaggerated, and everyone around her is just an extra; it's obvious that it's all staged and not real.

My parents in Czech Republic love this song around 1973 ❤ amazing
@renatahorackova8045Fun fact: Sandie later publicly admitted that she hated the song, "from the first 'oompah' to the final bang on the bass drum" and referred to it as having a "cuckoo-clock tune". However, Puppet went on to make No.1 in the UK charts, which meant that for years to come Sandie had to grit her teeth all the way to the bank and sing this ditty she loathed everywhere she performed.
