It was released in June 1995 the second single from thealbum of the same name and the follow-up to the international hit "Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)". The song entered at number fourteen of its first week in the UK Singles chart, and then peaked at number ten.

The song expresses hope and satirises the meaningless divide in the modern world between cultures and race. ==Track listings[ edit] == ===CD1 Europe[ edit] === ===CD2 Europe [Remixes][ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===CD3 Japan<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==Charts and sales<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Chart successions<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===
