The Bluebells' Version
The Bluebells version is very different from Bananarama's original in that the melody is significantly altered and has a completely new chorus. This went on to become a UK top 10 chart success on two occasions, first reaching number 8 in the UK Singles Chart on 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, where they sent up the unexpected re-release by parodying various other famous acts of the time such as Shabba Ranks and 2 Unlimited.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
