"Bend It!" is a song by English pop band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, released as a single by Fontana on 9 September 1966. Written by the band's management team Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, the song's Greek flavour and tempo changes garnered comparisons to Mikis Theodorakis's composition "Zorba's Dance". Though considered a departure from the "big-beat" style of the band's previous hits, "Bend It!" was a major chart success. It peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and had combined sales of over a million in the UK and Europe.

  • Bend It! är en poplåt komponerad av Ken Howard och Alan Blaikley. Den utgavs som singel av popgruppen Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich i september 1966 på skivbolaget Fontana Records. Musiken är inspirerad av traditionell grekisk musik, inte olik Mikis Theodorakis "Zorbas dans", vilken hela tiden skiftar i tempo. En elektrisk mandolin används på inspelningen. Låten blev en stor hit i flera länder, men i USA ansågs texten anspela för mycket på intima aktiviteter, och den blev inte spelad mycket i radio där. (sv)
