 Pet Shop Boys fans Saint Etienne sampled the album version throughout on 'She's the One' from "Foxbase Alpha" (1991) and the Marshall Jefferson Remix throughout on 'Archway People' from their b sides compilation "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone" (1993), having first appeared on the B-side to You're in a Bad Way (also 1993).In spite of the track's moderate commercial success, "Being Boring" has been played regularly at concerts and is widely considered amongst the greatest Pet Shop Boys songs by fans.It was not initially performed on the tour of 1991, "Performance"; leading to many fans, including Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses, complaining about its omission.
