Mika - Grace Kelly single cover | |||||||||||||||
"Grace Kelly" is a song by Mika released for download on 9 January 2007. Produced and mixed by Greg Wells, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number three (#3) and the UK Official Download Chart at number one (#1). One week later, it jumped to the top position, despite still being available on downloads only. The track was number one in the UK Singles Chart for the 5 weeks to and including 18 February 2007. In the U.S., "Grace Kelly" was made available for digital download on 16 January 2007.
It was designed to be a mocking satire of musicians who try to reinvent themselves to be popular. Mika claims the song was inspired after a bad experience with a record company executive. The lyric "So I try a little Freddie" is a reference to Queen's Freddie Mercury. Mika's voice has often been compared to that of Mercury. Although Mika said that the melody is based on The Marriage of Figaro, opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, it is actually based on Rossini's Largo al factotum from The Barber of Seville. The song was featured in a season two episode of The Hills and a season one episode of Ugly Betty. | |||||||||||||||
