Not got that, but I *have* got the Sensational Alex Harvey Band 
version, which is pure theatre. Ooh look, there it is in my sig.

Other cracking SAHB tracks:
* There's no lights on the christmas tree momma (they're burning big 
louie tonight) - so good it could be a country title[1]
* Delilah
* School's Out (one for Young Ones' fans there)

[1] Country music specialises in brilliant deadpan humour in titles and 
lyrics. Personal faves include:
"You're the reason our kids are ugly (l'il darlin')
"His hands are tiny/his hands are short/But I rely on him/for my child 
support"

Fantastic lack of info on Amazon about it:

Sold.
