In Japan, it was released I February 1979 in the same picture sleeve cover with the title in Japanese added, plus the lyrics were added to the back cover. The song name checked a number of classic era Hollywood movies such as "King Kong", "Last Tango in Paris", "The African Queen", "Citizen Kane" and "Tarzan" and was influenced by de Paul's move to California in the late 1970s to be with the actor James Coburn.
