"Lovely Head" is an electronic song written by British group Goldfrapp for their debut studio album Felt Mountain (2000). The song was produced by Goldfrapp and received a positive reception from music critics. It was released as their first single in the second quarter of 2000, but failed to make an impact on any major singles chart. In November 2001, it was re-issued as a double A-side single with "Pilots" and reached the top seventy-five in the United Kingdom.

[edit] Trivia

  • "Lovely Head" is also credited as "Your Lovely Head" on various Mute UK promotional releases.
  • "Lovely Head" was used in one of the sketches in the dystopian animated television show Monkey Dust, which featured a depressed man who made up stories about his life. The show fitted in with the song's melancholy air.
  • In Japan a promotional remix single of "Lovely Head" titled "Pulsar vs. Goldfrapp" was released.
  • "Lovely Head" is quite sought after by Goldfrapp collectors, as the font with which the title is printed no longer appears on the band's releases.
  • The song appears twice in the British film My Summer of Love (2004) by Pawel Pawlikowski for which Goldfrapp composed the score, as well.
