In the the book 1000 UK Number One Hits by Jon Kutner & Spencer Leigh, Adam Ant yays of this song “Its just stealing peoples attention. I’m a very big history fan of certainly the Georgian era and I like the flamboyance and sexuality and bawdiness of the time. I’ve seen films like Tom Jones and I grew up going to Saturday morning pictures and seeing all these other influences. I put them all together and ‘Stand And Deliver’ was just purely grabbing people’s attention and using the whole sort of classical English highwayman feel as a theme."
