Eloise was a single released by The Damned in 1986. The song was a cover of a track originally recorded by Barry Ryan in 1968.
On the back of the commercial success of the Phantasmagoria album, the group released the track as a stand-alone single, and were rewarded with their biggest hit as "Eloise" reached #3, spending 9 weeks on the UK singles chart, boosted by two different 12" releases. It was not included on any studio albums, but has since been issued on several Damned compilations.
MCA also issued the single in Germany, Australia, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa.
