Wikipedia article




"'The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes'" is a song by Babylon Zoo, released in October 1996 as the third and final single from their debut album of the same name. The release was a failure, continuing a downward trend in chart positions for the group's singles and peaking at #32 on the UK Singles Chart. It marked Babylon Zoo's final appearance in the UK Top 40.

The single version was a new edit of the song, remixed by Arthur Baker. Each CD version (including the two promos) has a different colour sleeve and disc.

Reception



'Select' critic Ian Harrison wrote that the song "mixes showtune sensibilities with generic Beatles theft".
