Charlotte Anne" is a 1988 song by Julian Cope, released as the lead single from My Nation Underground. His only U.S. chart-topper, it reached #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in early 1989. A melancholic alternative rock track, its lyrics explore depression, artistic struggle, and self-deception. The title is a play on "charlatan," reflecting themes of artistic authenticity. While lyrically acclaimed, its repetitive groove and length have been criticized.
