It was written by Chrissie Hynde and James Honeyman-Scott, and produced by Chris Thomas, released in 1979. It features on the debut album ‘Pretenders’, released on 7 January, 1980. The band's third single was scored number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in January 1980 (making it the first new number-one single of the 1980s) and number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Hynde got the idea for the song's title when, during an after-show dinner, she overheard someone enquiring if anyone had, “Picked up dry cleaning? Any brass in pocket?“ Follow the Pretenders: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: Lyrics: Got brass in pocket Got bottle I'm gonna use it Intention I feel inventive Gonna make you, make you, make you notice Got motion restrained emotion Been driving Detroit leaning No reason just seems so pleasing Gonna make you, make you, make you notice Gonna use my arms Gonna use my legs Gonna use my style Gonna use my sidestep Gonna use my fingers Gonna use my, my, my imagination 'Cause I gonna make you see There's nobody else here No one like me I'm special, so special I gotta have some of your attention give it to me Got rhythm I can't miss a beat Got new skank it's so reet Got something I'm winking at you Gonna make you, make you, make you notice Gonna use my arms Gonna use my legs Gonna use my style Gonna use my sidestep Gonna use my fingers Gonna use my, my, my imagination 'Cause I gonna make you see There's nobody else here No one like me I'm special, so special I gotta have some of your attention Give it to me 'Cause I gonna make you see There's nobody else here No one like me I'm special, so special I gotta have some of your attention Give it to me #Pretenders #BrassInPocket
