Released under the group title, Rod Stewart and the Faces, the single reached number 12 over Christmas 1974 in the UK singles chart.[2] The song still holds the record for the longest song-title ever to hit the UK chart.[3][4]
As hinted by the title, the song follows a man happy to be with his honey: "And I end up crying, but listen/I can be a millionaire/Honey when you're standing there/You're so exciting/You can make me dance."
