Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)
- Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)
"Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" is a song written by Marvin Gaye, Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield, first recorded by Gaye in 1962. The Temptations did it second in 1966 which was not releasd. Paul Young's version of the song was a UK number one single for three weeks in July 1983. The song was also recorded by reggae singer Cornell Campbell and by 2006 "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks on his album.
The Paul Young version is stylistically notable for its use of fretless bass played by Pino Palladino which gives it its distinctive style. It was major hit in the UK which broke Young as a star, although it fared less well on the Billboard Hot 100 where it peaked at #70. ]
The song title was parodied by the indie band Super Furry Animals with their 1999 song 'Wherever I Lay My Phone (That's My Home)'.
