"Mr. Gorgeous (and Miss Curvaceous)" is a 1997 hit by English electronic group Smoke City. Written by the three group members and produced by the group with Mike Nielsen, the song did not experience worldwide success like their debut single, "Underwater Love", but did become a number-one hit in Italy in September 1997.
British magazine Music Week rated "Mr. Gorgeous (and Miss Curvaceous)" three out of five, describing it as "a dreamy, jazzy acoustic guitar-based tune. Its naggingly insistent "aye-aye-aye" chorus plus Mood II Swing and Hyperspace mixes make it a strong contender."[1] Daisy & Havoc from RM gave it five out of five. They added, "Smoke City cope with the difficult follow-up to a hit single very well here by choosing this cheeky irresistible little summer number as the next move after 'Underwater Love'. Guitars are astrumming and the vocal is excellent–watch out for the singlalong "ay ay ay" chorus..."[2]
