It also reached the top spot of the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S., in an extended version. The track was released on the Jive label under the catalogue reference, JIVE 800.The song gained a reputation in the first episode of the 1986 soap opera Casualty when nurse Charlie Fairhead drives into Holby A&E in 1986.The song also featured in the sitcom Dear John where the character Kirk St Moritz played by Peter Blake can be seen dancing to the song in a highly amusing fashion.
