The remix was released as a UK single in 1996, almost a year after the original. The remix is extremely similar to the original mix, essentially just with a slightly more prominent drum track. This version charted marginally better than the original, peaking at #32; to date, this represents Squeeze's final appearance on any singles chart in any country.

Three versions of the single were released, each with a different set of B-sides.
