The song "Naughty Naughty Naughty", was a novelty love song between the singer and Mr Punch,[1] and reached Number 26 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1977.[2] A follow-up single, "Angling for a Kiss" was released in 1978, but failed to make the chart, and Sarney remains a one-hit wonder.
"Naughty Naughty Naughty" was engineered by Chris Tsangarides at Morgan Studios in Willesden, North London.[1] The single was issued by Alaska Records, owned by the record producer and musician, John Schroeder.[3]
Sarney started out as a folk/comedy performer in the Liverpool trio, The Crabtrees, in the mid 1960s, along with her brother Hal and Derek Marsden. The Crabtrees performed in venues all over Merseyside, and their act embraced traditional, contemporary and humorous songs. She was also a one-time vocalist with the Southend based rock and roll revivalists, the Mickey Jupp Band.[4]
