An observation: I adore everything about this: band name, album title, sleeve. Gloriously tasteless.

Like it was yanked out of the 1960s. Silky smooth pop.

I was getting groceries today and the torture porn sound system was playing a cover of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" It confirmed to me that even removing Rod Stewart's cancer throat squawk, that song really, really sucks.

I’ll admit to liking the Revolting Cocks version. But that one’s tongue is so far in its cheek I think it’s poking out the side.

Horrible song, and yes, Rod's voice annoys me greatly too.

Was it that one or some other awful Rod Stewart dirge that kept the Pistols off the No.1 spot? Was only reminded of that the other day after hearing Paul Heaton claim on Top of the Pops 86 that Thatcher was responsible for Caravan of Love not getting to No.1. He didn’t offer any evidence for it, but still have no problem believing him.

Your right, it was. What Heaton was actually alleging was that they rigged it so it wasn’t No.1 the following week as it was the Xmas chart.

Don’t remember Maggie releasing a Xmas single?
How many really thought it was an anti government song.

Maybe Heaton was referring to the socialist undertones in the lyric.

Ha...no she didnt. It wasn't to do with the song itself apparently, but something Heaton had said on tv that had supposedly upset Thatcher and her husband so I guess the consequence or revenge was Caravan being denied the xmas No.1 spot. While he didnt offer any substantiating evidence, Heaton did claim that he'd been officially told they'd bagged the No.1 early that week only then to see Reet Petite get it instead. Sounds very plausible to me anyway. Well worth a watch I think and probably still available on the iplayer.
