My bad.
I was thinking of this song.
Completely different song.
Paul Anka did do an album of jazzy covers of rock hits (including "Smells Like Teenspirit"). I kinda think that thta Wham song was on that album. But the song you're talking about is a completely different older song thats actually associated with Paul Anka.

This was a massive hit in early 1981, but I always disliked it and found it hugely overblown. Apparently features a guy called Midge Ure, of whom I'd never heard at the time, and don't recall anything of his afterwards either.

A perfect illustration of how and why 99% of British chart music was so rubbish after about 1982/83. Ugly artistes with absolutely no class whatsoever, tasteless videos, awful music. LOL.

This isn't that bad a song at all actually, but it's worth posting to illustrate the point made above about some of the performers of this era having no class. I mean, did Morrissey think it was classy or 'cool' to be prancing around the stage with a tree branch sticking out of his backside? Or to be singing about kicking people in the eye?

Snoop Dogg's Drop It Like It's Hot. The clunking in that song sets off my misophonia to extreme levels. Words like dislike and hate do not accurately describe my feelings towards this audio abomination.
