It climbed to number 13 in both Britain and Ireland, and in 1987 it slipped onto the US Hot Dance Club Play chart at 26, the only time Wylie ever charted in America. He wasn't finished with it, either: in 1991 he cut it again with the Farm as "Sinful! (Scary Jiggin' with Doctor Love)", and that version made number 28 in the UK and 25 in Ireland.
