Alex Day recently released his latest single, Lady Godiva, a cover of the 1966 Peter and Gordon song. It peaked at number 15 on the UK charts and 49 in Ireland.
Lady Godiva (who inspired the popular candy) rode through town naked, covered only by her hair to protest taxes. The townspeople had such respect for her they all looked away, except for Peeping Tom.

The city that Godiva rode naked through was Coventry, where her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia, had imposed harsh taxes.
