But I don't even know how to have fun, you may be thinking. I sincerely hope you enjoyed them! Well known in the UK as an actress/comedienne, Ullman had had a surprise Top Ten hit with her debut single "Breakaway": Pete Waterman, whose Loose End Productions had recently provided Stiff with the Belle Stars hit singles, suggested to his friend Kirsty MacColl that she pitch her composition "They Don't Know" for Ullman to record as her second single. 'Cause they don't know about us And they've never heard of love I get a feeling when I look at you wherever you go now I want to be there too They say we're crazy but I just don't care And if they keep on talking Still they get nowhere So I don't mind if they don't understand When I look at you and you hold my hand 'Cause they don't know about us I went round with a cassette, singing to an acoustic gutar. Do you mean you don't experience fun regardless of the activity you're doing? MTV-cofounder Robert Pittman saw the video made to promote Ullman's "They Don't Know" (see section 3.3 below) and, despite Ullman having nil exposure in the US, Pittman invited her to be a guest MTV VJ for the week of February 13–18, 1984 with a resultant positive response which caused MCA Records to rush-release "They Don't Know" as Ullman's debut US single,[12] which eventually reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Adult Contemporary. And even if they don’t, you don’t care because, hey — you’re in love! ... they wanna have fun Oh girls just want to have fun The phone rings in the middle of the night My father yells, ... Why Don't We Do It In the Road. When they asked if I had any songs, I said: 'Oh yeah, loads! "[1] Promo copies of a followup single: "You Caught Me Out", were pressed in October 1979 but Stiff opted to shelve the single, with MacColl's first release subsequent to "They Don't Know" being her remake of "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby" released in 1981 on Polydor.

The Ullman version was also used as the theme for the opening credits of Our Nixon, a 2013 documentary about U.S. President Richard Nixon. Waterman himself would hone the track, including having MacColl and Rosemary Robinson (the wife of Stiff Records president Dave Robinson) "add Shangri-La-type backing vocals", in Waterman's words, and having MacColl reprise her original "bay-ay-be-ee” to intro the third verse (as Ullman had a limited high-end range).[11]. Let me know in the comments which one is your favorite song! "They Don't Know" was Ullman's only Top 40 hit in the US: although she had three more entries in the UK Top 30 - including the Top-Ten hit "Move Over Darling" - Ullman would in a 2017 Guardian interview answer the question: "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" The B-side to "They Don't Know" was MacColl's recording of her composition "Turn My Motor On" - some copies read "Motor On" - , a setlist staple of Drug Addix, the band MacColl had recently left (consideration had been given to making "Turn My Motor On" the A-side).[1].
