"Roman P": Of the many versions of the song, the best known is the "Fireball Mix", which was featured in a mid-1990s Volkswagen commercial, to the confusion of many fans.

Something in the pronunciation of "at your desire" makes it clear that Shocking Blue's Mariska Veres learned the song phonetically.

I firmly believe that the inaudibility of the bass on Housemartins records inspired Norman Cook to become Fatboy Slim and start big beat, where you could always hear the bass.
