Goodness Gracious Me (song)
- Goodness Gracious Me (song)
"Goodness Gracious Me" is a comedy song recorded by Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren, and was a top 10 UK single in 1960. It features Sellers acting the role of an Indian doctor, and Loren of his wealthy Italian patient – who fall in love.
The song was used to promote the film "The Millionairess" although it did not feature in the movie itself. However, lines in the song refer "to" the film, such as "There's nothing the matter with it / put it away please" referring to the scene when Epifania shows Dr. Kabir her tongue thinking she is ill.
It also provided the inspiration for the title and theme tune of the BBC radio and TV comedy programme of the same name.
The song proved so popular in the United Kingdom that a follow-up song, "Bangers and Mash", was released. Sellers sang and spoke the part of a Cockney asking for plain English cooking, Loren singing the part of his Italian wife wanting to serve him Italian food. Both are featured on collections of Seller's comedy recordings.
