The song was originally written as a jingle for the 'Witchery Fun Fashion Boutiques' chain. On a 1975 compilation album promoting the brand, Witchery Spellbinders, the song 'Witchery' is listed, uncredited, on the sleeve but credited to 'The Spellbinders' on the label, with Beeb Birtles as songwriter. Little River Band's 'Curiosity Killed the Cat' also appears on the LP, properly attributed to Little River Band. [2]
