#1@1
• From the album Not Fragile.
• The single won the Juno Award for best-selling single of 1974. (The Juno Award for Single of the Year has been awarded since 1974 for the best single in Canada.)
• In The Rolling Stone Record Guide, writer Dave Marsh called the song "a direct steal from The Who," but "an imaginative one." The chords of the chorus riff are very similar to the ones used by The Who in their song "Baba O'Riley," and also, the stuttering vocal is reminiscent of "My Generation."
• Radio stations all over the USA were giving it a great deal of airplay. So much so, Bachman was embarrassed because he thought it was a stupid song, just something that he wrote as a joke.
