Thanks for the Memory (Wham Bam Thank You Mam)

"Thanks for the Memory (Wham Bam Thank You Mam)" is a song by the British rock band Slade, released in 1975 as a non-album single.

[8] "Thanks for the Memory" was released on 7" vinyl by Polydor Records in the UK, Ireland, across Europe, Scandinavia, Yugoslavia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

The video featured the band performing the song with Holder wearing a red and yellow-spotted jacket and large kipper tie, with guitarist Dave Hill in black studded cowboy-type gear.

"[14] John Hutson of the Thanet Times noted that Slade had returned with a "stomper" after "several slow and relatively unsuccessful singles" and continued, "It differs from their earlier style as it depends more on electric organ than guitars.

[16] The Greenford & Northolt Gazette noted that, despite the "jumpy rhythm", the song is "still more restrained than all the old fiery Slade hits" and, "like their last single, it grows on you with every play".
