"Knocked It Off" is a song by Scottish musician BA Robertson, released in October 1979 as the third single from his debut album Initial Success. It became his second Top-Ten hit in the UK, peaking at number 8 on the Singles Chart.[1] The song features a sarangi by Neil Sorrell.[2] The title "Knocked It Off" means, in this context, to become a success somewhat unexpectedly. The lyrics criticise celebrity life, making references to pop and football fame.
