The song was a surprise hit in the United States, reaching #3 in the Adult Top 40, #17 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and #18 on The Billboard Hot 100. The song refers to the seasonal Mummers Play performed by groups of actors, often as house-to-house visits. Its lyrics indicate a springtime holiday. The song was frequently used on the late-night syndicated radio talk show Coast To Coast AM, when Art Bell hosted the show.
