You know, with this song NOT making the top ten, I should have done a top 15 for 1975. It was an amazing year, and I have lots of good memories because it was my first year of listening to rock and roll. Even though this didn’t make the top ten, it’s one of the best songs from 1975…and you need to get up and dance along!
You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate
And you know the funny thing?? This song isn’t even close to Hot Chocolate’s best single. “Emma” blows this one out of the water. I’m in the minority who thinks that, because “Emma” bombed as a single, while this went to #1.
No, I’m not saying this song is bad. This song is terrific. It’s lasted fifty years because it is a great song (well, that and the use of the song in The Full Monty 
). (“Emma,” if you haven’t heard it, is as depressing as this song is joyful.) Errol Brown had a great voice, which made Hot Chocolate (a British soul band, go figure) a fond memory of the 70s.

@MarieCoyle — out of the context of the song, it sounds like a bad pickup line.

I remember that song sung by Hot Chocolate that plays a lot on radio stations in Lake Charles.

I still hear it on stations playing 70s songs in stores.

@FourWalls Same with me since one radio station plays the greatest hits from the 70s through the 90s.

Hot dog! You won’t know today’s even though it’s one of your favorite bands. (You’ve told me that when I used it before.)

Personally I thought that this was the best song Hot Chocolate.did.
My favorite band during my formative years.
Girls like being called You Sexy Thing in our small town in 75.

This is their legacy, for certain. I really did like "Emma" better, though, but it's definitely not a happy song.
