Trivia

Here's the band talking about the track, shamelessly pinched from Melody Maker:

Bob:
Forced into recording ultra-commercial a-side by slave-driving corporate record company. It was supposed to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. It was supposed to be quite funny. But it was written up as "elitist"! I mean, considering it was called Join Our Club, for God's sake!
Sarah:
It sounded terrible when it came out. That's a remixed version on Too Young To Die.
Bob:
I remember driving through Kilburn, and hearing it on The Evening Session, and all I could hear on the car-radio was Sarah singing with this hi-hat going TSSS! TSSS! TSSS! I thought, "Oh no, we've lost it."
Pete:
We lost it. And never regained it.
