The song spent three weeks at the top of the New Zealand singles chart,[2] selling in excess of 7,500 copies.
[citation needed] Following the success of the record and the top-ten status of its follow-up, "Many Rivers",[1] the group released their debut album later that year, Old School Prankstas.
Due to a mix up with the clearance rights, all of this song's royalties now go to 10cc members Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart.
That break became a lengthy hiatus, and, despite recording a number of demos, it was not until a chance meeting with producer Alan Jansson in 2001 that the group signed a deal with Jansson and Simon Grigg's Joy label through Sony Music.
[citation needed] This time, their single replaced Scribe's "Stand Up", which went on to spend a total of 12 weeks at the top of the NZ charts.
