"Nobody but Francis [Rossi] wanted to record it," recalled bassist Alan Lancaster. "All it did was advertise that we were a bunch of nerds."[2]
The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance for the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.[3][4]
Dexys Midnight Runners covered the song on the B-side of their single "This is What She's Like". This recording was included on some reissues of the band's Too-Rye-Ay album.
