<P> `` Tempted '' was the second single released from Squeeze 's fourth album , East Side Story . Over the years it has become one of Squeeze 's best - known songs , despite failing to crack the Top 40 in any country in which it was released ( UK No. 41 , Canada No. 45 , US No. 49 , Australia No. 90 ) ; Stewart Mason of AllMusic remarked , `` Although its increasing ubiquity on ' 80s hits radio and on television ( it was used in a successful clothing commercial in 2003 ) would suggest otherwise , Squeeze 's `` Tempted '' was not actually a hit single . '' The song later became ingrained in public consciousness due to its use in commercials by Burger King and Heineken , film soundtracks like that of Reality Bites ( which featured a 1994 remix ) , and the video games Grand Theft Auto : Vice City ( on the in - game radio station Emotion 98.3 , and subsequently on the real - world CD , vol. 3 , of the game soundtrack ) , and Rock Band . To this day , `` Tempted '' still gets moderate airplay from Classic hits , Classic rock and adult alternative - formatted radio stations . </P>
