[9] It was used as the theme tune to the popular Sunday night prime time ITV variety programme Hi Summer[10] which also featured Carl Wayne as one of the performers.
[11][12] The song received good reviews, with notable British DJ and music critic James Hamilton[13] writing "Ultra-brite and bouncy TV theme really does get ‘em jiving" for his weekly disco music feature in Record Mirror.
[16] Although it did not reach the UK Singles Chart, in part due to lack of BBC radio play (though it was play listed by Thames Valley radio),[17][18] it peaked at number 4 on the official Rhodesian singles chart,[19] having been released on the Gallo label[19] and made number 10 in the South African chart,[20] having been released on DJM Records.
[19][21] The song is also mentioned in the book La saga de Roy Wood Brumbeat forever by Vincent Lasserre, as is "My Girl and Me".
[22] Later, the song was also used to advertise ITV's weekly magazine TVTimes and its affiliated regional commercial television channels,.
