While touring in Ireland, the discovered the audience would cheer back "Who the Fuck is Alice?". As it turns out , this was a ritual at a Café in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) called "Gompie". The group decided to "cover" this version with comedian Roy Chubby Brown having the honor of yelling "Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?" during the chorus. Thus, Smokie holds the record as the first group to have a top ten song with the word "fuck" in it.

If You Think You Know How To Love Me
Smokie Lyrics
Breathless drive on a downtown street,
Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat.
Dust that hung from the desert skies -
Run though we'd run, it still burned our eyes.
Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side of life.
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side.
In the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,
And show me a way to understand.
So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I need,
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.
Yes if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me,
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.
Reckless night in a nameless town,
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound.
A beach that wept, the deserted waves -
That's where we slept, knowing we'd be safe.
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me.
But there's a lot I can learn and a lot I'd get to see.
I know you've got my life lying in your hands,
It's up to you to make me understand.
So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I need,
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.
Yes if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me,
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.

I'm from Britain. They were not legends. They were mildly popular. There were so many better bands.
Lots of competition.
However.
CCCP countries wouldn't know that being locked away and not told what was happening in the rest of the world.
And anyway. How do you know what he is talking about?
Я из Британии. Это не были легенды. Они были умеренно популярны. Было так много лучших групп.
Большая конкуренция.
Тем не мение.
Страны CCCP не будут знать, что их запирают и не рассказывают о том, что происходит в остальном мире.
И все равно. Откуда вы знаете, о чем он говорит?
