Fue citada en el Libro Guinness de los Récords como la primera canción que utilizó una muestra . [2] Sin embargo, según la nota de la portada de la reedición en CD del álbum de Kongos , en realidad es un bucle de cinta de percusión africana, [2] y el uso de bucles de cinta e instrumentos que utilizan muestras pregrabadas como el Mellotron y Optigan fue bien establecido en este momento.

English band Happy Mondays covered the song in 1990, retitling it "Step On", with two different music videos. It was originally intended as a contribution to the Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary compilation for their US label Elektra, but they decided to keep it to release as a single, and instead covered Kongos's "Tokoloshe Man" for the compilation. The Happy Mondays version incorporates a short sample of three guitar notes from the original.[19]
It became their biggest-selling single, peaking at No. 5 in the UK and even making it on to the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 57. The repeated phrase in the song "you're twisting my melon, man" was later reused for the title of Shaun Ryder's autobiography Twisting My Melon.[20]
