The drumbeat of the song, programmed on a Roland TR-909, is the basis of Siouxsie and the Banshees' song "Kiss Them for Me," and "Pearl" by Chapterhouse and a remix of "Ain't Nobody Stupid", written by Ne-Yo also sample the song.
They appeared on the BBC's Drumbeat with Adam Faith and John Barry, and later took part in a Christmas special "Tommy Steele’s Spectacular" with the song "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat".
