Quotes from page 189 - the 1st edition of Cope's 'Head-On:

"Bates had arrived at the soundcheck with a new Teardrop single. One that I'd not even been consulted about. They had edited and released it with Bill Drummond's permission.

The song 'Ha Ha I'm Drowning' was the fourth single from the 'Kilimanjaro' album. That was way too much..........I said I would stay there - his parents house - until Phonogram Records withdrew all the copies of 'Ha Ha I'm Drowning'.

I had lunch with the managing director of Phonogram. He was really nice. He acquiesced and agreed. He also told me that the single had entered the chart at 66 with only three days sales. I said I was sorry. It was a principles thing."
