Sound the alarm! The incendiary men of the Move are about to set the chart ablaze with an uncontrollable hit!

On all levels, it's an example of how to produce a pop single. Roy Wood's lyrics are cleverly constructed and amusing - about a girl "who can set the place on fire" - while the backing has a great Eddie Cochran type rock and roll feel.

Fire engine sound effects add to the fun. In the past the Move produced bigger and better publicity than hits. Now they are living up to their pop promise.
