  • Black Sheep Hit: When line up #1 recorded "Mexican Radio", they had no idea that song would be that successful.
  • One-Hit Wonder: Although it seemed to get MTV play once an hour for a time in 1983, "Mexican Radio" actually missed the US Top 40, peaking at #58. In the UK, it topped out at #64. But "Mexican Radio" was a legit top 40 hit in Australia (#33) and New Zealand (#21), and reached its highest chart peak in Canada, where it hit #18. "Mexican Radio" was their only hit in most territories, but in Australia the Prieboy-led "Far Side of Crazy" reached #23, and their cover of The Beach Boys' "Do It Again" peaked at #40.
