The song samples Loleatta Holloway's song "Love Sensation" and Yazoo's "Situation". American drag queen, Pandora Boxx, released a cover of the song in 2012 featuring Tim Permanent.[3]
In an ironic review of 10 June 1989, the Betty Page, observer of British music newspaper Record Mirror, came to the conclusion that the pop-up gatefold sleeve of the single that she got was much more interesting than the music of the disc itself.[4]
