It was the third track on the band's successful 1976 album, A New World Record and was the second single from the album. On some CD pressings of A New World Record, it appears without the exclamation point. RecordingFeaturing the operatic voice of Mary Thomas during the introduction, on the first recording take, she mistakenly started the vocals too early. However, Lynne elected to use the take (complete with her interjection, "Oops!") anyway (although some later pressings of the album are missing this part). During live performances, the 'aria' was provided by the band's bassist Kelly Groucutt,{{cn|date=December 2017}} illustrating his wide-ranging vocal talents. B-side"Poker" is a song written and performed by Electric Light Orchestra. The song first appeared on the band's LP, Face the Music as track number 5, It is the shortest song in length at 3:34, off the Face the Music LP. During recording, Kelly Groucutt sang most of the song's lyrics. (Normally, Jeff sang the vocals.) The song twice appeared as a B side, first in the UK then in 1979 as the flip side of the US single version of "Confusion". "Poker rocks along with murderous intent, despite corn ball lyrics." John Ingham (1975 – from a transcribed UK Face the Music album review of unknown origin) Chart positions
