"Worried About Ray" is the debut single of English[2][3][4] pop rock band the Hoosiers. The song utilises parts of the Turtles' 1967 hit "Happy Together", so its writers, Alan Gordon and Garry Bonner, are credited as co-writers.[5][6][7] It was the first single to be released from the band's debut album, The Trick to Life. It peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and also charted in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland.
