The song was a dance version of the hit from ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’. The original hit charted for Richard O’Brien in 1976 and would peak at 12 on our charts. The original Damian version of the track was released in 1987 and would peak at 51 in the UK. It would then be re-released in 1988 and get to 64 the second time around. This appears to be the version that made our charts. Damian would then get the track remixed by a guy called Pete Hammond and that remixed version would peak at 7 in the UK and 8 in Ireland. Des Tong, who produced the track was from the band Sad Café.
