You Sexy Thing was remixed by Ben Liebrand and primarily used to promote The Very Best of Hot Chocolate. The song was reissued in 1986 following the showing of a clay animation video [directed by Giblets] on BBC’s Arena. Then there’s the Nick Kamen track that nobody remembers – the Four Tops cover – before A-ha’s epic Manhattan Skyline.
