Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)

"Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)" is a 1969 song by Peter Sarstedt. It was a #1 hit in the UK charts for 4 weeks in 1969 and was awarded the 1969 Ivor Novello Award, together with David Bowie's Space Oddity. The song is about a poor-born girl (named Marie-Claire) who grows up in the "back streets of Naples" to become a member of the jet set. The lyrics describe her from the perspective of a friend who has known her since they were both children. The lyrics contain a large number of contemporary and other references: It is often suspected that the name Marie-Claire is inspired by the originally French Marie-Claire magazine, a women's fashion weekly first published in 1937.
