The Celtic Soul Brothers (More, Please, Thank You)

Mercury released the song as a single in March 1982, before the album, and it reached number 45 in the UK. It was the first song recorded and released by the revamped line-up that added the fiddle players Helen O'Hara, Steve Brennan and Roger MacDuff and the bassist Giorgio Kilkenny. It uses mandolins and violins where the earlier records had horn fanfares. On its re-release in March 1983 it reached number 20 in the UK and number 86 in the US, and it reached number 13 in Ireland.

Billingham said The Whispers' Needle in a Haystack was a particular influence and explained the unusual melody. Rowland said the song was about himself, an Irishman, and Paterson, a Scot, and that it expressed his devotion to the band. Ned Raggett of AllMusic named it a highlight of the album, Ira Robbins of Trouser Press called it jolly, rollicking jug band fare, and Simon Reynolds called it a manifesto of a single.

Dexys played it as their second song on Saturday Night Live after Come On Eileen, and it appears in the 1983 film Breathless. A live version recorded shortly after the single came out is on BBC Radio One Live in Concert.
