The single reached #43 in the UK and #10 on the Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts, but failed to chart on the United States pop singles chart.[2]
The tune was written by John Parr (of "St Elmo's Fire" fame) and Julia Downes.[3] It is a tribute to the Who's former drummer, Keith Moon, who died in 1978. It was said that the Who's bassist John Entwistle had wanted to play this song instead of "Won't Get Fooled Again" when the band performed at Live Aid in 1985, but guitarist Pete Townshend disagreed. Entwistle decided to record his own version on his live solo album Left for Live (1999) as a tribute to Moon instead.[4]
