Released in January 1973, it spent five weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart,[2] and also made #1 in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Ireland, and #3 in Finland, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway. Outside Europe it peaked at #1 in New Zealand, #29 in Australia and at #73 on the American Billboard Hot 100. Charts{{Refimprove|section|date=January 2018}}
Music and lyricsIts Muddy Waters-inspired blues riff is markedly similar to the one featured on fellow RCA act David Bowie's "The Jean Genie", released shortly before, but all parties maintain that this was a coincidence.[5] TV performancesSome controversy rose after the band's performance of the song on the British television program Top of the Pops at December 25, 1973. In this performance, Sweet's bassist Steve Priest wore a Nazi uniform.[6] References1. ^{{cite book| first= Christopher| last= Sandford| year= 1996| title= Bowie: Loving The Alien| publisher= Da Capo Press | isbn= 978-0306808548| page=103}} {{Sweet (band)}}2. ^{{cite book| first= David| last= Roberts| year= 2006| title= British Hit Singles & Albums| edition= 19th| publisher= Guinness World Records Limited | location= London| isbn= 1-904994-10-5| pages=282–3}} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/14266/sweet/ |title=UK Official Charts |author= |date=2019 |publisher=Official Charts Company |accessdate=25 January 2019 }} 4. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/the-sweet/chart-history |title=Hot 100: The Sweet |date=2019 |website=Billboard |accessdate=25 January 2019 }} 5. ^Nicholas Pegg (2000).
