The song is featured on the PlayStation 2 game SingStar.[4]
Awards
The video won the 1991 BRIT Award for Best Video, which is their only Brit Award to date.[5] It features a lip-syncing fighting couple, a trashed house, a load of flour and feathers, and a teddy bear's head impaled on the end of a kitchen knife.[3]
