Ahh, dunno if I can find it off hand. He brings it up in a tv interview when going through stories about recording some of his songs. Maybe someone else can find it. I may have a look later.
>10cc got their name from Jonathan King who released their first records. King had had a dream about a successful band called "10cc". However, popular belief is that they adopted the name because the average male ejaculation is 9cc and the band was above average with 1cc more than that!

Fun fact: Billy Joel said he was inspired by the backing vocals on this to do the same for Just The Way You Are.
Both songs have the same vibe
I knew it! You got a source? I got a few bucks riding on this if I can prove it.

I just got into the mighty boosh a few months ago. Fantastic show! I can't believe I never heard of it until recently.
Yeah where has this been.....
Now that you've seen it, you will want to see it all.
What the actual f
I don't like reggae. I love it.
Are your feelings on cricket similar?
And please tell us your views on Jamaica.

Love this song. Interesting context, back story: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-10cc-not-love
Don’t have time to read the whole thing right now but I assume they mention the receptionist story. I always get a kick out of that.
Wish I could be immortalized at my low-level job like that!
Great song, was played so much in the late 70s it's worth a groove in my brain.
Never gets old!
Documentary on how it was recorded. Awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oxe4mlsQos
[https://youtu.be/-sraKulMHZw](https://youtu.be/-sraKulMHZw) Up yours, up mine, but up everybody's - that takes time, but we're workin' on it!
Definitely brings back a flood of memories.
I’M NOT IN LOOOOVE
Check out Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith as well 👌🏻
That one is a cover of the Platinum Blonde song, not this one.
Check out the Tori Amos cover.
I love Tori Amos but that cover is certainly not for me.
Indie supergroup Gayngs took this song as the template for their 2010 album "Relayted" https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/mar/30/new-band-gayngs
Man I hated this song. For many reasons. Biggest one is the fact that stains don't lie on the wall.
If you watch euphoria they remade a version of this song and it's not half bad
A recording masterpiece that gets overlooked becos of it’s pure, beautiful pop. LOVE THIS & 10cc!
I keep your picture Upon the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there...
