"Turkish Tram Conductor Blues" is a song performed by English band The Move, which was released on their third studio album, Looking On, on 11 December 1970, before later being released as the third and final single from the album. The song was written and produced by Roy Wood (co-producing with Jeff Lynne), though the group's drummer Bev Bevan was credited as songwriter on original copies, as a reward for his promotional efforts on behalf of the band. Bevan noted that the song was "the sort of the thing that the Wild Angels might like to play". "Turkish Tram Conductor Blues" is also noted for rumours of hidden swear words in the track.
