"I Hear Motion" was the first single from The Pleasure of Your Company, the third studio album by Australian new wave rock band Models.
It was a Top 20 success on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart, peaking at No. 16 for two weeks, (although it climbed higher in several states and territories, placing at No. 12 on Melbourne's 3XY charts in October 1983).
At the 1983 Countdown Music Awards, the song was nominated for Best Australian Single.
Portions of "I Hear Motion" were included in the soundtrack of the 1988 movie, Young Einstein.
Duffield claimed the genesis for writing the song was an unsuccessful attempt at playing Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on a keyboard.
