"Looking Good Diving" is a 1987 song performed by Morgan-McVey, who were vocalists Jamie Morgan and Cameron McVey. It was their only single.[2] The track was released through Sony Records in 1987,[3] and was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) and mixed by Phil Harding. The track's B-side, "Looking Good Diving with the Wild Bunch", featured Neneh Cherry on vocals, and was a tribute to the 'buffalo stance', a type of pose.

According to Morgan, SAW closely followed the structure of the band's initial demo of the track, notably keeping the distinctive Phil Ramacon keyboard hook.[4] He denies that the song is about cunnilingus, instead insisting it is about looking good while striving to impress a love interest.[4]

"Looking Good Diving with the Wild Bunch" was re-recorded by Cherry in 1988 and released as her debut solo single, "Buffalo Stance". "Buffalo Stance" peaked at No. 3 on the UK chart,[5] and achieved similar success around the world.
