You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think Of It is the second album by British pop group Hotlegs.
The album was released in 1976 after Hotlegs, a three-piece band from Stockport, near Manchester, had added a fourth member, Graham Gouldman, changed its name and achieved international chart success as 10cc.
The album was a revised version of Hotlegs' debut album, Thinks: School Stinks, which had included the band's hit single "Neanderthal Man". You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think Of It was titled after "Neanderthal Man"'s B-side.
The title track had, in 1973, been reworked to form the basis of "Fresh Air For My Mama", the closing song on 10cc's debut album, 10cc.
"The Loser" had been the B-side of the 1971 single "Lady Sadie", while an additional track, "Today", had first been recorded by Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in 1969 under the band name of Frabjoy and the Runcible Spoon.
The album cover featured a drawing of the band by Godley and Creme.
