Ann Sidney, a native of Poole, England, won the 1964 Miss World contest, representing the United Kingdom. She became the second woman from her country to win the title; after Rosemarie Frankland had won the title in 1961.
The pageant was held in London, United Kingdom. Both before and during her reign, Sidney was dating Bruce Forsyth, who at the time was married to Penny Calvert. During her reign as Miss World, she travelled around the world five times and joined Bob Hope on his USO tour of Asia.
After relinquishing the Miss World title, Sidney had many small acting roles on TV, including the The Avengers and Are You Being Served?, and in films, notably Nicholas Roeg's Performance and the Bond movie You Only Live Twice, as well as forming a touring cabaret act.
Sidney also featured in the Australian-based comedy series Birds In The Bush (1972) and later co-hosted an Australian version of the game show, The Better Sex (1978).
Burn up that quarter mile
Just tuned my car, now she really peels
A lookin' real tough with chrome reverse wheels
A blue coral wax job sure looks pretty
Gonna get my chick and make it out to Drag City
Yeah, I'm goin' to Drag City
(Run her through now)
Goin' to Drag City
(What'll she do now?)
Goin' to Drag City
(Run her through now)
Goin' to Drag City
(What'll she do now?)

The DJ's sayin' on my favorite station
(Whine, whine, whine)
The Drag City races are the fastest in the nation
(Listen to 'em whine, whine, whine)
Wheels are the wildest and the stockers are pretty

'Round the drag way thick exhaust fills the air
(Whine, whine, whine)
The final teams tackin' up and action everywhere
(Listen to 'em whine, whine, whine)
Checkered flags, wheel stands, sure sounds pretty
(Listen to 'em whine, whine, whine)
To hear the cheers bring your ears out to Drag City
(Listen to 'em whine, whine, whine)
Yeah, I'm goin' to Drag City
(Run her through, now)
Goin' to Drag City
(What'll she do now?)
