 The Bluebells' version of the song was a UK top-ten chart success on two occasions, first reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart during its original release in 1984.Almost a decade later, after The Bluebells had disbanded, the song was re-released as a single in 1993 after being featured in a TV advert on British television for the Volkswagen Golf.It became a number-one hit for four weeks, leading to the band reforming temporarily to perform the song on BBC Television's "Top of the Pops", on which they sent up the unexpected re-release by parodying various other famous acts of the time such as Shabba Ranks and 2 Unlimited.
