An early musical number, "Do the Bartman", leads the album as the first track and the first single released. It was an international success, including being the UK number one single on February 16, 1991, staying there for a further two weeks. Ironically, this was over 5 years before the show was actually shown on mainstream British TV, though it had premiered on the satellite channel Sky One a year earlier. The album was released in the same month, and reached number six. It should also be mentioned that this song is a style parody.
