"I See Red" is a song written by Gerry Rafferty's brother, Jim Rafferty. "I See Red" was first recorded by Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA, under the name "Frida" for her first English-language studio album, Something's Going On. Lyngstad's version wasn't released as a single aside from South Africa where it didn't chart, although subsequent cover versions by other artists such as the Irish folk group, Clannad, included on their album, Magical Ring, resulted in a moderate success. Clannad's version was the follow-up single to their breakthrough hit "Theme from Harry's Game". Gerry Rafferty himself also recorded a version on his 1992 album, On a Wing and a Prayer.
