Lindsey Buckingham brought in his Fleetwood Mac band mate, Mick Fleetwood, to play drums on the track, but was not satisfied with any of the takes, so made a loop of about 4 seconds of Fleetwood’s drumming and used this throughout the track. Of the 13 songs that charted which featured Fleetwood Mac members (9 Fleetwood Mac hits, 2 Stevie Nicks hits, 1 Lindsey Buckingham hit and 1 by Chicken Shack which featured Christine McVie), this would have the highest top 30 points total and would be the only one to top the charts.
