"You've Got a Friend"
Song

You've Got a Friend is a Pop ballad writted and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and performed by Sonia and Big Fun, and featuring Gary Barnacle on sax. This song was released as a charity single for the Childline foundation in June 1990. Initially the artists recorded the well-known Carole King song of the same name, but for reasons unknown it was ultimately not used and SAW wrote an original song with the same name instead.That version was finally released in the 2010 re-issue of Big Fun's album A Pocketful of Dreams The video is notable for its adult content, including scenes with Sonia being spit-roasted by Big Fun in the PWL studio, and was subsequently banned by MTV. An heavily-edited version, showing before and after shots but no actual penetration, was shown on Top Of The Pops and The Chart Show.

The single peaked at #14 in the UK and #12 in Ireland. It was later included on Big Fun's Japanese edition of their debut album A Pocketful of Dreams.
