According to Chas Hodges, the song was recorded as a "piss take" on the series of pop song medleys by Stars on 45, and chose some of the "corniest" old songs such as "When I'm Cleaning Windows", "Any Old Iron" and "The Laughing Policeman" in the medley. It was however not originally intended to be a single, only as a B-side. Hodges did not want it released as a single, and it would be their only song he regretted releasing.[2]
