This is the first single released by Savage Garden from their eponymous debut album Savage Garden and was released in 1996. This single had an Australian video of low-budget quality and then a US version.

The song is known particularly for its high-speed, somewhat surreal lyrics, including a variously-stated line in the first verse frequently (and famously) misheard as "like a chicken cherry cola".
