Wikipedia article
"'The Real Thing'" is a song by English band ABC, released as the second single from their fifth studio album, 'Up' (1989).

Critical reception
On its release, Lisa Tilston of 'Record Mirror' wrote, "ABC seem to have gone full circle, with the beginning of this sounding just like 'The Look of Love' set to a dance beat. Fair, but not their best."
