      In 1998, American producer Jason Nevins remixed the song under the amended title “(It’s) Tricky“. This version peaked at No. 74 in the UK while Nevins’ remix of Run-DMC’s song “It’s Like That” spent its fifth week at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] Nevins’ remix also achieved top-40 placings in continental Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.[2]

      Two decades after the song’s release, the Knack sued Run-DMC on the grounds that “It’s Tricky” sampled their song “My Sharona” without permission.
