In Australia, after the song was played by mistake (instead of "X Offender") on the nationally broadcast music programCountdown, it was well received by the viewing audience.[1]  Chrysalis Records rereleased the song as a single in Australia, again with "Man Overboard" as the B-side. When it reached #2 on the charts, Australia became the first territory in which Blondie achieved a hit single.

"In the Flesh" was featured in the 1982 film The Last American Virgin. The song was also featured in the film "200 Cigarettes" (1999) and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. The song was covered by fictional band Low Shoulder in the 2009 film Jennifer's Body. ==Release history[ edit] ==
