The performance of Wrap Your Arms Around Me was broadcast on German TV show Formel Eins on 4 October 1983. Formel Eins was a music video programme broadcast from 1983 to 1990 with a total of 307 episodes, initially on ARD's third channels (HR3, BR3, SW3 etc.). At the time, the weekly television programme was the only one in the West German media to present current video clips. Formel Eins was therefore very popular, especially with young people.
