"Little Sheila" is a song from rock band Slade which was released as the fourth and final single from the 1985 album ''Rogues Gallery''. It was the leading American single from the album. The song was written by lead singer Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea. It was produced by John Punter. ==Background== Released as the lead and sole American single from ''Rogues Gallery'', the song did not have a UK release, and was only released in America, Canada and Germany. Slade had hoped the single would continue the band's breakthrough success found with "Run Runaway" and "My Oh My", both hit singles during 1984 in America. Upon release, the track received a good amount of radio play in the United States and Canada, whilst a level of interest from the public was shown for the band. However, like the ''Rogues Gallery'' album, the single received little support from CBS except for a music video. The single peaked at #86 on the American Billboard Hot 100 during May 1985, and fared better on the American Mainstream Rock Chart, where it peaked at #13. It became Slade's last charting single in the United States, and was also Slade's second and last appearance on the Mainstream Rock Chart. The single remains one of the more popular Slade tracks amongst Americans. In Canada the song was also Slade's last charting single in the country, peaking at #50. The song failed to chart in Germany. In the Billboard Magazine issue of 27 April 1985, the song was first listed at #107 on the 'Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles', whilst the ''Rogues Gallery'' album was at #203 on the 'Bubbling Under Top Pop Albums'. The song, lasting three weeks in the Top 100 in America, debuted at #92. Although the track had a similar theme to the Van Halen sound of the time (notably the 1984 hit song "Jump"), the song itself dated from 1979, with a version recorded around 1980 by The Dummies, a band involving Jim Lea and his brother Frank Lea. This version was eventually released for the first time on the 1991 album ''A Day in the Life of the Dummies''. The album summed up the band's entire recording career, which largely consisted of new versions of Slade songs.
