Terry (Kirsty Mac Coll Song)

Terry (Kirsty Mac Coll Song)

"Terry" is a song by Kirsty MacColl, released as a single in October 1983, and charting at #82 in the UK the following month. It was her first release after returning to Stiff Records, and was the last in a run of poorly-selling singles released between "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" and "A New England".

Just over a year later, in January 1985, Tracey Ullman took the song one place higher on the UK charts, peaking at #81. Ullman's version of "Terry" used the identical backing track to the MacColl version, merely erasing MacColl's lead vocal and substituting Ullman's. (MacColl co-produced both versions of "Terry".)
