"The Legend of Xanadu" is a single by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich that reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1968 and was the group's biggest hit. It was written by songwriters Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley. As was the case with many of the group's recordings, it features novelty elements — a trumpet section and the distinctive sound of a whip cracking in the chorus. The musical accompaniment was directed by John Gregory. The single was certified gold in November 1968.

  • The Legend of Xanadu är en poplåt, utgiven som singel 1968 av den brittiska musikgruppen Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. Som de flesta av gruppens hitlåtar skrevs den av Alan Blaikley och Ken Howard. Gruppen var känd för att hela tiden byta stil inför varje singel, och ofta blanda in element av världsmusik. För denna låt blev det ett mexikanskt tema med en trumpetsektion, och en återkommande ljudeffekt av en piska. Låten var en stor hit i Europa under våren 1968, och blev gruppens enda singeletta i Storbritannien. I USA däremot gjorde den liksom alla andra av gruppens låtar utom "Zabadak!" inget väsen av sig, men blev däremot en hit i Kanada. (sv)
