Go-Go's and Fun Boy Three Versions
Although originally written and performed with three verses, it is an abbreviated version of the song that appears on Beauty and the Beat. This version of the song was released as a single in June 1981 (see 1981 in music) and peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and fifteen on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart. On the dance chart, the song peaked at number ten. A song of unusual longevity as a hit, it remained on the Billboard charts for much of 1982 as well, long after its peak.
The following year, co-writer Terry Hall re-recorded the song with his own band, Fun Boy Three . It was included on their second album Waiting and reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart.

Famous quotes containing the words fun, boy and/or versions:
“In a novel a hero can lay ten girls and marry a virgin for a finish. In a movie this is not allowed. The hero, as well as the heroine, has to be a virgin. The villain can lay anybody he wants, have as much fun as he wants cheating and stealing, getting rich and whipping the servants. But you have to shoot him in the end.”
—Herbert Mankiewicz (1897–1953)
“Who’s a boy gonna talk to if not his mother?”
—Donald E. Westlake (b. 1933)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
