It was subsequently featured over the opening credits of the 1989 film Loverboy, starring Patrick Dempsey. Giant Steps' follow-up single "Into You" was a modest US chart success, reaching No. 58 in early 1989. In 2006, Campsie became infamous for writing the Kandy Floss record, and was mistakenly credited as being a member of Go West by Mr. Holy Moly in Metro's 25 February edition. (en)
