In 1990 the song was included on Lekakis' first album, Tattoo It, which was released on Sire Records. Subsequent remixes have appeared on the US dance chart. The song is popular in the LGBT community and helped to establish his career, both as a singer and as an actor. In 2009, VH1 ranked "Boom Boom" number 83 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

Remixes

"Boom Boom" has since been re-released and remixed on multiple occasions. In 2007, a music video was also released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original single.

In an interview conducted by Ben Patrick Johnson, from his video blog Life on the Left Coast, Lekakis stated that the 2007 version is the first in which he participated in the remix process, including re-recording his vocals, there is one slight lyrical difference between the 2007 remix and the original song: instead of "...coming back to my room for a little boom boom", the lyrics in the more recent version are "...coming back to my room for another boom boom".^{[citation needed]}

Promotion

Lekakis lip synced the song on various programs, some of which have been shown on YouTube. In addition, Lekakis appeared in an episode of an MTV program produced by Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes, singing the song in 1987.[2]
