Music
It has a similar musical style to Dead Man's Party (1985) with refined studio production, but with fewer party-friendly compositions. Its original proposed title was "More Nervous Energy". It was also released in a limited edition box set, titled "Boingo in a Box", consisting of five 7-inch vinyl records with one track on each side. The box set featured an additional studio track Mama that was not included in the standard LP, CD or cassette releases. Radio interviews and demo tapes from the period indicate that the song Cinderella Undercover was recorded but again cut from the album; it was initially considered to appear on Only A Lad (1981). Both songs were subsequently re-recorded for the live album Boingo Alive in 1988.
In film and television
The track "Home Again" appears over the end credits in the movies Wisdom and Home Alone 3.
The track "We Close Our Eyes" appears in the final scene of the finale episode of Psych, "The Break-Up," continuing through the closing credits.
"We Close Our Eyes" was covered by Susanna Hoffs for the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film) soundtrack, and by Allister for the 2004 Sleepover (film) soundtrack.
