"Look Wot You Dun" is a single from glam rock band Slade which appeared on the album ''Sladest''. It was written by lead singer Noddy Holder, bassist Jim Lea and drummer Don Powell. The single was released just when Slade's previous single Coz I Luv You had its last week in the top 100.〔http://archive.is/20120728140349/http://www.chartstats.com/chart.php?week=19720205〕 The single peaked at #4 in the UK, spending 10 weeks on the chart, last on the top 100 on 08/04/1972 at #38. The single originally entered the charts at #25 and climbed to #9 the following week and #4 after. It remained at #4 for 3 weeks. The previous single topped the UK charts. == Background == Upon release, the single sparked a protest from teachers across the UK about bad spelling. Record Mirror magazine published a short article about the protest at the time, ''"The new Slade single "Look Wot You Dun" has sparked off protests amongst the teaching profession, according to a spokesman for the group. He told Record Mirror that several teachers have written to the Ministry of Education complaining about the deliberate misspelling of the title and the previous single "Coz I Luv You". They allege that the phonetic spellings create confusion in their pupils' minds."''〔Record Mirro magazine 5 February 1972〕 Guitarist Dave Hill made the "Piano equals failure." statement about the single at the time of release. The track was originally written by Lea and Powell and was taken to Noddy for his input. The track was influenced by John Lennon. During recording, Slade's guitarist Dave Hill borrowed Peter Frampton's guitar as his own had been left at home and was inaccessible due to bad weather during the Christmas holiday. This track is the only Slade song to feature a Don Powell vocal of heavy breathing in the chorus.〔Slade's Greatest Hits compilation booklet〕
