"Appetite" is a song by English pop band Prefab Sprout from their album Steve McQueen.

The 7" features "Heaven Can Wait", an instrumental version of "When The Angels", the closing track on Steve McQueen.

In a 1988 interview, Paddy McAloon described it as one of his favourite pieces and elaborated on the title "I played it to Muff Winwood and he suddenly turned to me in his revolving chair with a raised eyebrow and said "Oh, the Swiss".

[11] In 2006, Paddy McAloon rerecorded the song in a solo acoustic arrangement for the expanded 2007 reissue of Steve McQueen.

In 1986, Ian Pye of Abbey National Ace Magazine expressed his belief that "Appetite" and "When Love Breaks Down" "will go down as being amongst the classics of their age" [13] Among retrospective reviews, Classic Pop's Rik Flynn has declared the song Steve McQueen standout and " a perfect example of the Dolby-McAloon marriage" with "a pop melody to die for".

[5] Peter Lindblad of Goldmine described "Appetite" as "airy, transluscent [sic]" and one of several songs on Steve McQueen to "merge Paddy’s classic pop leanings with the stylish swoops and dives of the Smiths".
