"She's a Windup" is a song by the band Dr. Feelgood. The track was recorded in 1977,[1] and appeared on Be Seeing You, an album by Dr. Feelgood that was released in September that year.[1]
"She's a Windup" was also released as a single in the UK in September 1977. Written by all the band members,[2] and produced by Nick Lowe,[3] the song was Dr. Feelgood's second hit single. The B-side of the record, "Hi-Rise", was penned solely by Gypie Mayo.[4]
It reached number 34 in the UK Singles Chart, and spent five weeks in the listing.[5] A 12" single (12 UP 36304), issued at the same time as the 7" single, had an additional track on the B-side, a live version of "Homework". The cover shown is the original 12", with a "rubber stamp" logo in the corner. The 7" was released in a plain sleeve.[6]
