“Something Stupid“ is a song written by C. Carson Parks. It was originally recorded in 1966 by Parks and his wife Gaile Foote, as “Carson and Gaile“. A 1967 version by Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy Sinatra became a major international hit, reaching number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart. In 2001, a cover version by British vocalist Robbie Williams and Australian actress Nicole Kidman reached number one in the UK Singles Chart. The most successful and best-known version of “Something Stupid“ was issued in 1967 as a single by Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra and subsequently appeared on Frank's album The World We Knew. The single spent four weeks at number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and nine weeks atop the easy listening (now adult contemporary) chart, becoming Frank's second gold single as certified by the RIAA and Nancy's third. In Norway the single qualified for silver disc. It was the first and only instance of a father-daughter number-one song in America. Nancy Sinatra was quoted as sarcastically saying, “Some people call (Something Stupid) the Incest Song, which I think is, well, very sweet!“. The single also reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart the same year.
