  • Robbie from DublinI two remember two fat ladies. I was 11 when it came out and first heard it late on radio Luxembourg so could be wrong
  • Mickey from AnonI remember the lyrics being "two fat ladies, click click click"
    Was I wrong?
  • Bloo63 from Manchester UkReplying to Heckman from Austin, it is 'Put another dime in the juke box baby.'
  • Heckman from AustinWhat is Ian saying at the very beginning of the song??
  • AnonymousWhat on earth could this song be about? I just can't imagine!
  • David from Nottingham, United KingdomThis song is famous for one thing- it has the best bass line in the history of the world, played by Norman Watt-Roy. I play bass amongst other things but it's way too fast for me- I can't match it!
