In 1985, the song was given its first 12" vinyl release. An extended remix version of the song was created by Lea and Peter Hammond for the release. In 1989, it received its first release as a CD single, which sold 15,000 copies in the UK. That same year, the song was sampled by the novelty pop music act Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers for their song "Let's Party". At the time, "The Sun" reported that Slade had received £20,000 for use of the track, however a Slade spokesman said the figure was exaggerated. "Let's Party" would reach No. 1 in the UK, and was also a success across Europe.
