Getting a Drag
Getting a Drag was the second single released by Lynsey De Paul. The song was co-written with David Jordan and featured the Lynsey De Paul penned b-side "Brandy". Released in November 1972 on MAM Records, the single quickly entered the U.K. singles chart and peaked at #19[1] and #46 on the German single chart.[2] Lynsey later said "This was my comment on the times and is about a girl who finds her boyfriend wearing her clothes and is angry, not because he is wearing them, but because he looks better than she does. It was tongue-in-cheek. I did it on Top Of The Pops when Marc Bolan was on set and was waiting to perform his song immediately afterwards.".[3] The song has also been covered by Franz Lambert. It also a was prize winning song at the 1973 International Contest of the Tokyo Music Festival in 1973.[4]
