<P> Although the song received considerable airplay on Canadian radio in early 1985, many radio stations played an edited version which faded out before the "son - of - a-bitch" lyric was heard . The song failed to reach the national Top 40, peaking at No. 49 on the Canadian charts in the week of March 9, 1985 . It did, however, reach the Top 40 in some individual markets--for example, it peaked at No. 24 on the CHUM Chart in Toronto . </P> <P> The song also reached No. 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States . It was Cockburn's only single besides "Wondering Where the Lions Are" to reach the Top 100 in that country . </P> <P> The song was covered by Cottage Industry on the 1991 Bruce Cockburn tribute album Kick at the Darkness . </P> <P> Also recorded by Maggie Holland on her CD' Bones' . </P>
