It was released as a single in February 1994[1], and reached #28 in the UK Singles Charts. It also became a hit in other countries, reaching number 1 in Lebanon{{Citation needed|date=November 2007}} and number 24 in Iceland[2]. In common with the folk music theme of the Tiger Bay album, "Pale Movie" combines a Eurodance beat with Spanish folk-style guitars. The lyrics use surreal imagery to describe a man's love for a mysterious woman. Although the title is not sung, some of the words refer to cinema: "In the bed where they make love / She's in a film on the sheets. / He shows dreams like a movie, / She's the softness of cinema seats." Other lines are stranger: "her skin as white as the milk, / Just like a Sherpa Tenzing / under a Manila silk." In an interview with Melody Maker magazine, keyboard player Pete Wiggs said that he considers the song "potentially brilliant" but "a bit of a failure"; he feels that the band "stuck too rigidly to our folk idea". He also adds that they only chose Spanish guitar so that they could go to Spain for the video (the video for the song features the band riding around the countryside of Nerja,{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}} Spain on scooters). The cover art for the single features photographs of swimming tigers, presumably in reference to the album title.
