This record contains a genuine and honest-to-god hit song! And, there was a Canadian pressing, which I have. From Allmusic:
In a press handout that accompanied the original release of Pere Ubu's Cloudland, David Thomas quipped "We'd never been asked to write a pop record before. I guess it never occurred to anyone." Given the sonic Dadaism of much of Pere Ubu's work, what's most startling is not that it took so long for someone to suggest they make a pop record but that they were able to comply so successfully.

That's kind of hilarious.
