HARD CUT TO BLACK:
‘Make Me Smile’/Steve Harley Cockney Rebel over closing credits.


Like so many glam songs, Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) evokes Hollywood movies, with its echo of Mae West's famous line, Why doncha come up and see me sometime? According to the official Steve Harley website, Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me), 'reached Number One in 1975 in the UK and many European countries and is regularly voted among the top singles in the history of the charts, which covers six decades of releases. The Performing Rights Society has confirmed it one of the most played records in British broadcasting. The song has been covered more than 100 times in seven languages and has been featured in several movies including The Full Monty (whose soundtrack album went triple platinum in the UK, and platinum in the USA and Australia), Velvet Goldmine, Best and Saving Grace.'
