it is one of their best known hits, peaking at # 92 on the billboard hot 100 and #40 on the mainstream rock charts. despite its success and unlike other of the band's hits, the song did not go on to be a live staple, appearing very rarely in concerts after their appearance at the 1993 phoenix festival, where billy gould announced "this is the last time we'll ever play this song again" right before the song. during second coming tour, the band picked up the song again and performed it at least once at a concert in rio de janeiro in 2009. the song was performed at the open'er festival in 2014 for the first time since 2009. in a 2016 interview, gould stated, "that song sucks, let’s face it. i don’t know, we don’t groove on that one. also, when you play it live, it just kind of gets boring".
