I could perhaps google it but I can't hold my hand up to knowing it. I never used to like Tony Blackburn in the '70's, he was too glib, but now after many years of obscurity he's got the right attitude.

Remember it well, 2nd year at Uni, had enough money from working on Pembroke Power Station to finally give up on 2 wheels (Triumph Thunderbird) and get something with a wheel at each corner ( Triumph TR3A )
Used to be good fun showing MGB owners the way to give a car some proper abuse... :lol:

On that basis I have worked out that you must be considerably [said in Birmingham accent] older than me as I was a mere 15. Have just looked at the youtube link, that doesn't look like Roy Wood singing but it sounds like him, I know he wrote it.

Just found this on Wiki

Without consulting the band, Secunda produced a cartoon postcard showing the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Harold Wilson, in bed with his secretary, Marcia Williams. Wilson sued The Move for libel and the group lost the court case and had to pay all costs, with all royalties earned by the song, which otherwise would have belonged to composer Wood, being awarded to charities of Wilson's choice

Better be careful here, as Lady Forkbender (as she is now) is still alive and suing. The cartoon was one of Gerald Scarfe's finest, and it seems to be difficult (for some reason) to find an image of it. What I remember about the libel case is that Wislon bizarrely employed Quintin Hogg, an absurd Tory politician-come-lawyer, who repeatedly described the members of the band as "infants" (they were technically minors, being under 21). But this was the sixties, and my memory may very well be at fault, for the usual reasons.
