Peter Jackson - "Monday next day, Gerald and I go up to Midland of Class' label. We’re excited because we know this song ["Turn the Beat Around"] is slammin’...took the other four songs and they passed on that one. They said: 'We don't like that one. The lyrics move too fast. You have that jungle beat in there. It's not what's happening'." Peter Jackson resultantly called Vicki Sue Robinson to give her the song for her album. When Jackson told Robinson: "'I'll meet you down on Thirty-Fourth Street [with the demo' she said: 'I made Al give me a copy.'"
