Norman is famous for writing the music to the first James Bond movie, Dr. No, including the "James Bond Theme", the signature theme of the James Bond franchise. Norman has received royalties since 1962 for the theme. However, as the producers were dissatisfied with Norman's arrangement, John Barry re-arranged the theme.[1] Barry later claimed that it was actually he who wrote the theme, but Norman won two libel actions against publishers for claiming that Barry was the composer, most recently against The Sunday Times in 2001. In the made-for-DVD documentary Inside Dr. No, Norman performs a music piece which he wrote for the stage several years earlier entitled "Bad Sign, Good Sign", that resembles the melody of the "James Bond Theme" in several places.
Norman collected around £600,000 in royalties between the years 1976 and 1999[2] for the use of the theme since Dr. No.
(Mind you, Queen then ripped off Stairway for Bohemian Rhapsody.)
Hot Cherie by Hardline is actually a song from a band called Streetheart....and had at least one more cover, in the mid 80`s.
I though Joan Jett was the original artist for years.
The Eminem-Chas & Dave connection has appeared in a few pub quizzes I've hosted. Fantastic trivia. Do you know of any other well known albums did they play on as session artists?

You are right @EricTheWeary. I can't say how the traditional version was sung as everyone sings and plays it as per the Lizzie version these days. Even playing campfire chords, it is a fun song to play as everyone knows most of the lyrics..

And I have memories of a friend-of-a-friend's band announcing 'here's some Sepultura' - and launching into Orgasmatron.

Personally I don’t like it. I don’t like it. I don’t la la la like it. But there you go!

I've recently discovered that they are both covers of originals by Wilbert Harrison, the original "Let's Stick Together" is remarkably similar to Ferry's - it's terrific in fact.
Harrison redid the song in the 70's as "Let's work Together" and that was the song covered by Canned Heat.
