Here's an extremely rare post-TOTP appearance from Legs & Co, on ITV's The Video Entertainers, 27 July 1982. The song must have been deemed acceptable back then, but nowadays, it seems (to me anyway) frankly creepy. I can't identify the singer: a quick google shows that lots of bands on the heavier end of the rock spectrum (Motorhead, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton...) have used the title, but none of them seem to be this one.
It's fairly difficult to identify dancers, but (over on the discussion forum) Susie, who seems a reliable source, had identified the dancers as Lulu, Patti, Sue, "Patricia" and "Tanya".
Update; thanks to commenter Ale, who correctly identified thesinger (and writer) as Gerard Kenny.

1882?? I don't think the Goddess will be too happy you making her this old :-)
Whoops! Thanks Carl: date fixed.
The lyrics are creepy beyond belief, its hard to imagine such a song was allowed to be broadcast even back then. Apart from the unsavory lyrics this is quite a good find, thanks for bringing it to us YMG.
I seem to remember Suefan over on the discussion forum posting links to this and another similar clip from this period of time a while back. Hopefully the other clip may surface too YMG ?
Can't believe I'M seeing this again. I actually had this at one time on a vhs tape that I wiped over. The Artist was Gerard Kenny, who's only near hit was 'New York, New York in late 1978
This is a precious record of Legs & Co post-TOTP and I'm grateful to see it. The ladies look great and it's a lively dance albeit to a dodgy lyric. Thanks for this.
It is a good dance although, as I think we all agree, the lyric is unfortunate to say the least. But did it come over so poorly in 1982. I doubt it.
