This was Amy's fourth single. It was a double a side with "Help Yourself" and reached #65 in the UK. It's so different to the Amy on Back To Black, but still features some of the traits she'd go on to be so recognised for. It's a wicked take on gold diggers who go after footballers. While obviously her slide into alcoholism, drug addiction and her obsession with Blake Fielder Civil would go on to inspire her best work, it also gives this song a fairly unique place in her cannon due to it's light, sarcastic tone. I also love her use of "pressed" in it!

This is the only song I've ever heard from "Frank", and I've always liked it.

I honestly never really cared for this song. The melody resembles "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," which I find irritating.

Didn't like upon first listen when I heard it years ago, but it def. grew on me alot. Surprised it didn't do well on the charts, well on the UK side (though that means little to nothing).

the superior British version of P!nk's "Stupid Girls."
Melody is repetitive, but DAMN THOSE LYRICS

I like it, but it's not one of her best.
