Garland said the song was "in the top five" in requests each day at CKLW, and that the single went from 14th to seventh in sales in the Detroit area last week. Les Garland, program director for CKLW radio in Windsor, says the song is being played an average of once every three hours on his station, a frequency that only the biggest hits receive. It has caught on in New York, Boston and Houston and is starting to be played on West Coast stations. The appeal of the song is not limited to the Midwest. "So we decided to release it as a single two weeks ago, and it's now our hottest single." "The whole thing caught us by surprise," he added.
