Serpico is a 1973 American biographical crime drama film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Al Pacino in the title role. The screenplay was adapted by Waldo Salt and Norman Wexler from the book written by Peter Maas, with the assistance of its subject Frank Serpico. The story details Serpico's struggle with corruption within the New York City Police Department during his eleven years of service, and his work as a whistleblower that led to the investigation by the Knapp Commission.

Producer Dino De Laurentiis purchased the rights from Maas. Agent Martin Bregman joined the film as co-producer. Bregman suggested Pacino for the main part, and John G. Avildsen was hired to direct the film. Pacino met with Serpico to prepare for the role early in the summer of 1973. After Avildsen was dismissed, Lumet was hired as his replacement. On a short notice, he selected the shooting locations and organized the scenes; the production was filmed in July and August.

On its release, Serpico became a critical and commercial success. At the same time, the film drew criticism from police officers. It received nominations at the Academy Awards and BAFTA Awards. Pacino earned the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama, while Salt and Wexler received the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

"Hot Love" is a song by English glam rock band T. Rex, released as a standalone single on 12 February 1971 by record label Fly. It was the group's first number one placing on the UK Singles Chart, where it remained at the top for six weeks beginning on 14 March 1971.[4]

The two performances of the song on Top of the Pops in March 1971, which saw Marc Bolan dressed for the first time on television in shiny satin stagewear and glittery make-up (the latter at the suggestion of his stylist Chelita Secunda) were a crucial trigger for the glam rock movement

Lyrics
Well, she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old, ah, ah, ah
Well, she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old, ah, ah, ah
I don't mean to be bold, but may I hold your hand
Well, she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch, ah, ah, ah
Well, she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch, ah, ah, ah
I'm a laborer of love in my Persian gloves, ah, ah, ah
Well, she's faster than most
And she lives on the coast, ah, ah, ah
Well, she's faster than most
And she lives on the coast, ah, ah, ah
I'm her two penny prince and I give her hot love, ah, ah, ah
Take it down on me, mama
Ow, aw, ah
Well, she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch, ah, ah, ah
Well, she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch, ah, ah, ah
I'm her two penny prince and I give her hot love, ah, ah, ah
