The album consists of covers, such as "Move Over Darling" (Doris Day) and Blondie's "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear". "They Don't Know"—originally written, recorded and released by singer Kirsty MacColl—became Ullman's biggest hit. It reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and #2 in the UK. The song's music video included a cameo appearance by Paul McCartney.[4] Ullman had appeared with McCartney in the film Give My Regards to Broad Street.[4]
