The single, on the back of "Vienna"'s success, hit #8 on the UK Singles Chart, giving Ultravox their second top-ten hit.[1] There is currently no known music video available for the song, although the song was used to infectious effect in the first skateboarding video, Powell Peralta's promotional Skateboarding in the '80's, featuring Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen.

The b-sides are two original instrumentals. "Keep Torque-ing" is listed on the Rare, Vol. 1 compilation as "Keep Talking"; it is generally accepted that the latter is the correct name for the track.

gollark: I'm hoping to move the server to a newer platform eventually, since it turns out regular non-ECC DDR4 is significantly cheaper than ECC DDR3 now, plus lower power usage, and you can get decent amounts of cores without dipping into enterprise hardware now.
gollark: They could also dump caches or something, or deallocate buffers which aren't entirely needed, or ignore it.
