I was asked why I haven't written a "proper" love song, but the thing is most "proper" love songs aren't really about love at all, they're superficial, physical "I fancy you, how can I get in your pants" sorts of songs. Now, that I can handle. I would like to thank Bennett Arron and Pamela Mitchell for the inspiration behind the song: Bennett's version of the joke has been broadcast on radio and TV, so there's a fair chance that's where the idea first imprinted itself; Pamela for describing something that actually happened.
