Veering dangerouly off topic - wasn't there a bit of controversy over the fact that the lyrics had been bought off someone - cant remember the name - oh yes I can cassanova fly (in facy there is even a bit which goes 'im the C-A-S an the O-V-A and the rest is F-L-Y' which they never even bothered to change to reflect the new performers) so even if it was the first record (which it wasnt) it certainly wasn't the first (or even an original) track.
