"Looky, Looky" is a 1969 song written and performed by Giorgio Moroder as "Giorgio".[1] The song sold over a million copies[2] and was awarded a gold disc in October 1970.[3][4]

It was with "Looky, Looky", and as a singer, that Moroder first gained popularity.[5] The song, whose sound was compared to The Beach Boys, is very distinct from the disco and synth sounds Moroder later created as songwriter and record producer.[1]

Moroder performed the lyrics and all of the instruments all by himself. Only the song’s chorus words (inspired from the song "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" by The Rivingtons) are performed by Moroder's long time friend singer and co-performer Michael Holm.[6] Allegedly, he offered his services in return for a big steak.[7]
