I'm in Love with Margaret Thatcher
"I'm in Love with Margaret Thatcher" is a 1979 single by the English punk band Notsensibles. It was originally written as an tongue-in-cheek comment on Margaret Thatcher, and following her death in 2013 was part of a social media campaign to get it to number one on the UK Singles Chart. The song charted at number 35 on the chart on 12 April 2013.
==Initial release==
The Notsensibles formed in Burnley, Lancashire, in 1978, to "make silly records and play silly gigs".〔Gimarc, George (2005) ''Punk Diary: The Ultimate Trainspotter's Guide to Underground Rock 1970-1982'', Backbeat Books, ISBN 0-87930-848-6〕 Their second single, "I'm in Love with Margaret Thatcher", was issued in October 1979, five months after Thatcher's win in the UK General Election. Initially self-released in a pressing of 1,000 on the Redball label, but reissued on the Snotty Snail label due to continuing demand,〔 the release gave them a No. 8 UK Indie Chart hit at the start of 1980.〔Lazell, Barry (1997) ''Indie Hits 1980-1989'', Cherry Red Books, ISBN 0-9517206-9-4〕 According to one review, the song was: "Meant as neither a pro- nor anti-Thatcher song. It revolved around the idea that no-one was too sacred to get the piss taken out of."〔( D. Plyvale, quoted at Notsensibles.com ). Retrieved 14 April 2013〕 Writer Simon Reynolds stated that it "...taps into the side of punk all about not taking ''anything'' seriously..."〔(Simon Reynolds, ''Rip it Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984'', Faber & Faber, 2009 )〕 The record sleeve showed a photograph of Thatcher apparently giving a V sign to the camera.〔(Record sleeve and label images at Discogs.com ). Retrieved 14 April 1979〕 The single's B-side included "Gary Bushell's Band of the Week", which poked fun at the journalist.〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) "Notsensibles", in ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0〕
The song was featured in the 2011 film ''The Iron Lady'' starring Meryl Streep, and was re-released on vinyl and download at that time.
