"Jeans On" (1976) "Another Funny Honeymoon" (1977)

The popularity of the original commercial eventually led to the recording of "Jeans On" as a full-length song, with some lyrical changes.

The single eventually became Dundas's biggest hit, peaking at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and number 17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It became a chart hit all over Western and Northern Europe, including a number 1 in West Germany.

Dundas also recorded a French language version of the song, titled "Blue Jeans".^[2]

The opening electric piano riff of the song was looped and sampled for British electronic musician Fatboy Slim's 1998 track "Sho Nuff"; as a result, Dundas is credited as a co-writer on the track.^[3]

The song is covered by Keith Urban in the 2002 album Golden Road.
