The song peaked at number 15 on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart.
In July 2003, he told Debbie Kruger of Melbourne Weekly Magazine, "I wrote "Curiosity (Killed the Cat)" in London in 1974 when I was in the band Mississippi.

The lyrics in the song pertain more to me being the crazy cat and my girlfriend at the time being the one to keep me on an even keel.
