"Cinderella Rockefella" was a novelty single written by Mason Williams and Nancy Ames, and most famously released by the Israeli duo group Esther and Abi Ofarim, a married couple, in 1968.
The song features rather yodelling, somewhat 1920s style lyrics and music.
According to Radio Caroline DJ Andy Archer, the song was the last to be played on Radio Caroline South on the night of March 2-3 1968, before its radio ship (like that of its sister station Radio Caroline North) was towed into harbour over unpaid debts on the morning of March 3.
