The song was initially intended for Rick Astley and he did start laying down some vocals but then decided it was not for him. It would end up being the first of a run of 7 top 10 hits in the UK for Donovan. It would rank 32nd out of the 48 songs by Australian acts that made the charts (top 30 points basis)
