==Background== Bassist Mark O'Toole explained that the song is "basically a story of someone going through their life doing the things they normally do — like the girls putting out the washing and stuff like that."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Borg |first=Lola |date=5 November 1986 |title=We're All Hippies At Heart |url=https://www.zttaat.com/article.php?title=990 |access-date=2024-03-23 |website= |publisher=[[Smash Hits]]}}</ref> The 7" packaging made reference to [[Animal|animals]], with a [[panda]] and [[dolphin]] on the sleeve. The cassette single more references to [[sexual intercourse]] with the instrumental mix being dubbed "The Condom Mix" on the cassette single.

Promotional copies complete with the condom do exist, however.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 1987 |title=As part of their bid to further the cause of safe sex… |url=https://www.zttaat.com/article.php?title=761 |access-date=2024-03-23 |website= |publisher=[[Number One (magazine)|No. 1]]}}</ref>
