A controversy raised around "Big Fun", the hit single recorded by American band Inner City, as the song was very similar to "Take Me to Your Heart" at the music level. Stock Aitken Waterman said the band had stolen the music of the song for "Big Fun" and therefore re-used it in "The Dick Dastardly Mix".
