Compilation Appearances
As well as the song's single release, it has featured on various compilation albums released by Madness. It was initially included on Complete Madness, which also hit number 1 in the UK at the time of the single's release, meaning Madness were at the top of both the single and album charts. The song was then included on the 1992 compilation Divine Madness, which was later reissued as The Heavy Heavy Hits. The song was further included on The Business and It's... Madness. It featured in the Our House musical, which was based on the band's songs, and as such appears on the accompanying soundtrack, Our House. Furthermore, it was part of the US releases Madness and Ultimate Collection.
In addition to these releases, the song also features on several "Best of the 80s" albums. In 2010, it was included on the re-release of the band's 1982 album The Rise and Fall, appearing on the second disc along with Driving In My Car, another stand-alone single from around that time. It's b-side Don't Look Back was also included.
The original single contained a 10 second outro featuring music from a fairground. However, this song was reissued with the final 10 seconds removed and most subsequent compilations feature this version, rendering the recording with the fairground ending a minor rarity.
