'''Dozen Girls''' was a single by [[The Damned]], released in 1982.
After the experiment of "[[Lovely Money]]", it saw a return to slightly more familiar territory, but failed to chart. The album version released on ''[[Strawberries (album)|Strawberries]]'' is slightly different from the single version, with the play-out featuring a roll call of a dozen girls replaced by the repeated line "He's alright and he don't care, he's got thermal underwear". Some pressings of the single credited 'Karloff' as a co-writer of "Dozen Girls" (most likely a reference to [[Boris Karloff|Boris]], who Vanian is a fan of, and can be heard on the track) on the record label.
The single was also issued in [[Bolivia]] by [[Phillips Records|Phillips]], with "Bad Time for Bonzo" on the [[B-side]].
