think of any other way. This track was not very melodic, which did not seem to do it any favours. The "English-German" version is just the English version in a German accent. It is not a bilingual version as the title may suggest. The "British-British" version is the same but with a British accent, this appeared as an extended form on the 12" releases along with the standard length "English-German" version and the German-language version itself. As if this was not confusing enough, the 7" labelled the A side as "Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery (English Version??)". The Guinness Hit Singles book printed this title exactly how it printed on the label which made it look as though the authors were not sure of what they were printing. This was in the 7th edition, however more recent copies appeared to have dropped the question marks. The song did not do very well. For instance in the UK, it was in the top 75 for just 4 weeks, peaking at number 68. The standard UK 7" featured the German accent version on the A side and the German-language version on the B side. It may have seemed a better idea to have recorded a few more English language tracks and released them as well in order to gain more international favour like the German band Dschinghis Khan did. The band did not record any further English-language versions of their songs, but used English in some of their regular songs. Despite the band's failed attempt to gain international fame, they still remain quite popular in Germany and Austria.
