Songfacts®:

  • Baxter Dury sits out on vocal duties completely during this song and gets former Pipette and Marc Ronson collaborator Rose Elinor Dougall to sing the lines instead. He explained to Q Magazine:

    "There was no chance I was going to sing that. I actually did sing it, it came across quite homoerotic. I didn't know what position I was in the narrative and it was really out of tune and an appalling mess. Rose was brilliant and nailed it straight away."
