"Rocky Took a Lover" is a single by the Irish pop rock quintet, Bell X1, and the third to be taken from the band's third album Flock. It was released on August 28, 2006. It entered the Irish Singles Chart on August 31, 2006, spending four weeks there and peaking at #18. [1] The single included a cover of the Depeche Mode song "Enjoy the Silence". [2]

Many Irish radio stations, including Today FM, had been playing the track since before the release of the previous single "Flame" (as early as December 2005) and the song was used extensively to promote the band's third album. In early 2008, the song featured on a Dublin Bus television advertising campaign. [3]
