"She Wears Red Feathers" (also erroneously known as "She Wears Red Feathers and a Huly-Huly Skirt" after the opening lyrics) is a popular song, which was written by Bob Merrill in 1952.
The best-known recording of the song was made by Guy Mitchell in 1952 and was a No. 1 single in the UK Singles Chart in March 1953 for four weeks.[1][2] It was only the sixth single to reach the top spot in the UK.[1]
Alberto Semprini, on pianoforte with rhythm accompaniment, recorded it in London as the first song of the medley "Dancing to the piano (No. 20) - Hit medley of quick-steps" along with "Wild Roses" and "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes". The medley was released by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10457.
The band Mud also released a cover of this song.[3] Another cover performed in a cabaret club, featured in the opening scene of the 1989 film, Scandal.
