@a_man_of_music3: "Over My Shoulder" is a song by the British rock supergroup Mike and the Mechanics (stylised as Mike + The Mechanics). It was released on February 13, 1995 by Virgin Recordsas the first single from their fourth album, Beggar on a Beach of Gold (1995). Written by Paul Carrack and Mike Rutherford and sung by Carrack, it was the most successful single from that album, peaking at number 12 on UK Singles Chart. It became the band's only hit in certain European countries, including Switzerland and France; in the latter country, it reached number nine and spent 20 weeks in the top 50. The accompanying music video for "Over My Shoulder" was shot primarily on the village green in Chiddingfold on the Weald in Waverley, Surrey, England. The parish church of St Mary's, with its distinctive tower, as well as the village pub The Crown, also appear. It features Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard as a love-struck teenaged boarding school pupil and Tom Fletcher (later in the pop-rock band McFly) as a little boy in a junior school classroom. TikTok muted the video at full length due to copyright claims, so I had to edit it to one minute.
