"King Midas in Reverse" is a song by British pop group The Hollies, written by Graham Nash but credited to Allan Clarke, Nash and Tony Hicks. It was released by The Hollies as single in September 1967 in anticipation of their album Butterfly.

Musical style

The track was a departure in style and influenced by Graham Nash's visits to America. Nash wanted to take the band in a new direction which was resisted by other members of the band, and this led to his departure and move to the United States. It was released in the UK on the Parlophone label (R5637) and in the US on the Epic label (10234). While a critical success, the song was a commercial failure by the Hollies' standards prompting them to write and record the more commercial song "Jennifer Eccles" for their next single.
