"Do You Wanna Touch Me", also referred to as "Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah)" is a glam rock song performed by Gary Glitter. The song reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1973, his third successive UK hit. The song represented something of a departure from the "trademark" of the Glitter sound and it was co-written by Glitter and his record producer. It was later covered by rock singer Joan Jett in 1980, reaching number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[edit] Other uses

A cover of the song by Joan Jett from her 1981 album Bad Reputation appears in a 2008 TV commercial for Hewlett-Packard's TouchSmart computers. The ad was pulled from TV when HP learned that Glitter, now a convicted pedophile, had written the song. On 29th October 2008, it was reported that Glitter will receive £100,000 in royalties from Hewlett Packard for this advertisement.^[1]
