"5 Colours in Her Hair" is the debut single by English pop rock band McFly. It was also the band's first UK number one. It stayed at the top for two weeks. The song was written by two of the band members, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, and their friend from Busted James Bourne. The track is especially well known for its "Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo!" lyrics, played at the beginning and at the ending of the song. The track is an homage to As If actress, Emily Corrie. The CD also features a duet with Busted singing a cover of The Kinks song Lola. Overall, it spent twelve weeks in the UK Chart. It also reached #7 in Ireland. The song was inspired by Suzanne Lee, a character in the TV series As If, played by actress Emily Corrie, who wore coloured dreadlocks. The music itself is indebted to 1960s surf and beat music. The song was also nominated for the Record of the Year in 2004, but remained in second place one point behind the winner Thunderbirds/3am by Busted.
