The lead vocalist on the record is still widely debated to this day. It has been believed for many years that session singer Tony Burrows was the lead singer on the track, however, various sources claim that band member Ricky Wolff was the lead singer. In an article when the song was released, the band were keen to announce that the lead vocals were performed by Wolff, but it has also been stated by band members that Wolff and Burrows sang dual lead. Either way, both Wolff and Burrows were featured on the record as either lead or backing singers.
