'Genius of Love' was featured in the 1984 Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense (filmed in December 1983). The US version did not contain these modifications until the album was released on compact disc in the 1990s. A new single, a cover version of The Drifters' ' Under the Boardwalk', which was the group's second and final UK Top 40 hit, replaced another song 'Booming and Zooming'.

Max B also sampled 'Genius of Love' in his single 'Get Outta Jail'.Д®arly British pressings of the first Tom Tom Club album featured shorter versions of 'Genius of Love' and 'Wordy Rappinghood', but to capitalize on the club success of these songs, Island Records reissued the album with the full 12-inch versions in 1982. Another version, 'Genius Rap' (1981), by Dr. 'It's Nasty' (1982) by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was one of the early hip-hop versions of the song however, it was re-recorded by a live band, thus interpolation and not sampling (using the actual original recording) as was common practice at the time.

'Genius of Love' has been sampled or reinterpreted by many artists, including L'Trimm, Redman, Funkdoobiest, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers in 'Tumblin' Down', the 12' Remix, and Mariah Carey in her hit single ' Fantasy'. 23 on the Billboard 200 and being certified gold by the RIAA. Despite being dismissed by Talking Heads frontman David Byrne for its more commercial direction, the album was a moderate success, peaking at No. Records in the United States and Island Records elsewhere in 1981. Named after the dancehall in the Bahamas where they rehearsed for the first time while on hiatus from Talking Heads in 1980, Tom Tom Club enjoyed early success in the dance club culture of the early 1980s with the hits ' Genius of Love' and ' Wordy Rappinghood', both of which were taken from their self-titled first album released on Sire and Warner Bros. Originally established as a side project from Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club comprised a loose aggregation of musicians, sound engineers, and artists of the Compass Point All Stars family, including Tina Weymouth's sisters and guitarist Adrian Belew, the latter of whom toured with Weymouth and Frantz in the expanded version of Talking Heads in 19.
