When I first heard this I thought – because of the band’s name Reparata and the Delrons, very Fireball XL5 or Space: 1999  – the ship must be a space ship. Of course the clanking bell should have let me know it was perhaps a river boat.

Though the song didn’t even make the US top 100 it reached no 13 in the UK.
