"The Loco-Motion" is a 1962 pop song written by American songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Its initial release by Little Eva went to US #1. The song is notable for making Top 5 in the USA three times: for Little Eva (1962); for Grand Funk Railroad in 1974 (US #1); and for Kylie Minogue in 1988 (US #3). It is sometimes categorised as belonging to the '60s girl group sound (which Goffin and King helped create), though it was recorded by a solo artist.
"The Loco-Motion" was performed by Australian dance-pop singer Kylie Minogue on her debut album Kylie (1988). It was produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman, and received a mixed reception from music critics. The song, a cover of the Little Eva hit, was released as the third single in the summer of 1988 and was a top five hit in the United Kingdom, debuting at number two, giving Minogue the record for the highest entry on the UK singles charts by a female artist, a record previously held by Madonna. It also reached number three on the U.S. Billboard charts with sales in excess of 1.5 million and made number one in Canada, giving Minogue three simultaneous number one's internationally.
In the United Kingdom the song was released on July 25, 1988 and debuted at number two on the singles chart — the highest entry on the UK singles charts by a female artist — due to strong 7" single sales and radio airplay. It remained in the number two position for four weeks before falling to number three. The song became Minogue's third top five single in the UK and remains one of her most successful single releases to date.
"The Loco-Motion" debuted at number eighty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and later climbed to number three for two weeks. The song was Minogue's second single to chart in the U.S., but her first to reach the top ten. It would remain to be her biggest hit in the United States until 2001 with the release of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", which reached number seven on the chart. In Canada the song reached number one.
