In late 1992, the Divinyls covered The Young Rascals song, "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore", for the soundtrack to the film Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[7][8] It was subsequently issued as the lead single from The Collection, in October 1992. The single peaked at No. 19 on the Australian singles charts and spent sixteen weeks in the top fifty.[9] The second single released, "Wild Thing", was recorded for the soundtrack to the Australian comedy film Reckless Kelly (1993). The song reached No. 39 on the Australian singles charts.[10] The third single, a cover of Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug", was recorded for the soundtrack to Super Mario Bros.. The single failed to enter the top 100.[6]
