10cc fue un grupo de estilo rock-pop y soft rock británico, originarios de Manchester. Se dice que su nombre se debe a que diez centímetros cúbicos es la cantidad promedio de semen que un hombre genera en cada eyaculación.
Su debut fue en el año 1974 y la agrupación estuvo compuesta por Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley y Lol Creme. Su gran éxito mundial llegó en 1975, con la canción I'm Not In Love; también son conocidas Silly Love, Wall Street Shuffle y Dreadlock Holiday. Se separaron en 1995.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

[Verse 1]
GmDmCm I was walkin' down the street, DmGmDmCm Concen-tratin' on truckin' right. DmGmDmCm I heard a dark voice beside of me, DmGmDmCm And I looked round in a state of fright.
[Bridge 1]
DmGmDmCmDm I saw four faces, one mad, a brother from the gutter. GmDmCmDm They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other.
[Interlude]
GmDmCmDm GmDmCm N.C. I say:
[Chorus 1]
GmFD#Dm I don't like cricket, oh no, CmDmD# I love it. GmFD#Dm I don't like cricket, oh no, CmDmD# I love it.

[Verse 2]
GmDmCm Well he looked down at my silver chain, DmGmDmCm He said I'll give you one dollar. DmGmDmCm I said You've got to be jokin' man, DmGmDmCm It was a present from me mother.
[Bridge 2]
DmGmDmCm He said I like it, I want it, I'll take it off your hands, DmGmDmCm And you'll be sorry you crossed me, you'd better understand, DmGmDmCm That you're a-lone... DmGmDmCm N.C. A long way from home. And I say...
[Chorus 2]
GmFD#Dm I don't like Reggae, oh no, CmDmD# I love it. GmFD#Dm I don't like Reggae, oh no, CmDmD# I love it.

[Verse 3]
G#mD#mC#m I hurried back to the swimming pool, D#mG#mD#mC#m Sinkin' pina coladas, D#mG#mD#mC#m I heard a dark voice beside me say, D#mG#mD#mC#m Would you like something harder.
[Bridge 3]
D#mG#mD#mC#m She said I've got it, you want it, my harvest is the best, D#mG#mD#mC#mD#m And if you try it you'll like it, and wallow in a dreadlock holi... G#mD#m (Dreadlock, holi, Dreadlock holi, C#mD#mG#mD#mC#m N.C. Deadlock holi, Dreadlock holiday). And I say:
[Chorus 3]
