It reached #2 on the Billboard R&B charts, #39 on the dance charts, and #31 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] In addition to the single release, the song was featured on the band's 1982 album Gap Band IV. A notable feature of the song is its use of a synthesizer to imitate the whistling sound of a bomb being dropped. This is first heard immediately before the first verse, and throughout the song from the fourth chorus onward. The song also features timpani drum rolls. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the song was one of those named on the 2001 Clear Channel memorandum of "lyrically questionable" songs.[3] The song is featured in a Walmart Christmas holiday television commercial which started airing in October 2017.[4] The song is frequently played at sporting events. For example, it is played at both San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros home games when a player from the home team hits a home run.
