IIRC Slap & Tickle is a rare example of a single that's slightly longer than the album version. #TotP

The vocal does actually sound a bit like she's talking into a headset in a call centre. #TotP

In the rock music record shop I worked in (on the chart survey, that was exciting) in 1988-91, we used to describe guitar solos like that as 'widdly widdly'. #totp

IIRC this was the comeback single for Bruce Dickenson as the singer in Iron Maiden after they had that other singer in the 90s. #TotP

Okay, genuinely LOL at the Whicker Man joke. #TotP

I was going to say "You don't get that on CD:UK" but I never used to get up that early on a Saturday so I wouldn't know. #TotP

A song about having sex with a car, followed by a song that samples Cars is one of the better bits of sequencing in this era of #TotP

Wondering if all those parts are from the same car. #TotP

"What have you done today to make you feel proud?" Is presumably supposed to sound motivational but it always felt more like an accusation. #TotP

I was today years old when I learned that this lyric isn't 'Love struck a hole in your tights' #totp

A screenshot of a 2000 episode of Top of the Pops. Tom Jones & Mousse T. performing Sex Bomb. The subtitle reads 'Love-struck and holding me tight'

I don't know whether Made In London were canned because their follow-up single only got to 74, or whether that only got to 74 because the record company had lost interest and didn't fully promote it. Either way the writing was probably on the wall when this first single only got to 15 #TotP
