It was released on Arista Records and became an international hit, reaching number 7 in the UK charts, and number 9 in the Netherlands.[1] The song did not chart in the U.S., as it was issued as the B-side to "Change of Heart", when it was released as a single in the US during 1989. The song is about partying and having fun in the Mexican city of Acapulco. The song would subsequently appear on their 1988 studio album Indestructible.

Personnel
gollark: They have ridiculously complex manufacturing processes because the transistors are on the scale of a few hundred atoms, it's crazy.
gollark: Also, with your processor comment, you are kind of underselling the complexity involved. It's not separate transistors, they're all just made on large bits of silicon together and wired up. Billions of them per processor.
gollark: In the case of games, which are basically just *information*, though, you can both use it because it can be copied (assuming no DRM meddling).
gollark: Quantum electrodynamics is still an important field of study.
gollark: Information doesn't work like physical objects, QED.
