Before I heard "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the radio, I never knew of Kylie Minogue. So, I was surprised to find out that she's been a huge star in the UK for years.

In addition to the title track, this CD-single also includes two, never before released songs "Boys" and "Rendezvous at Sunset." Plus, the video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head."

This is a fun dance song, with a catchy chorus, sexy lyrics and addictive beat and Kylie's sultry voice only adds to it. This is her first hit in the United States since the 1980s and I'm sure it's not her last.

Most of us Americans will probably accoisate the name Kylie Minogue with the same cheery,fresh-faced Aussie who sang the cheesy-yet-irrestible "I Should Be So Lucky" and remade the
"Locomotion"(her biggest U.S. hit to date) back in the late '80s.

But while Kylie never really made too much of an impact in the States,she's been just as big as Madonna every where else in the world(especially in the UK,she's had 21 Top 10 hits there) but ever since this gem right here was released in the US this year,
this euro-pop vetran may have offical stardom in America
after all.

"Can't Get You My Mind",first and foremost,is great dance-pop.
It has a very Euro feel(so does the video,it's VERY Euro!) yet has a pop feel that the Americans can be familiar with.It has a great chrous(that "la la la" chrous will mostly stick in your head-for better and for worst) and a nicely arranged backing track that keeps up with Kylie's breathy vocals.This song reminds me of Janet Jackson's 2001 smash "All For You" in a way with it's vague disco feel and catchy,un-kiddie pop feel.
This is top-quality Top 40 music,right here folks.

It's very intresting to see this song become a hit in the US
(it's Kylie's first single to hit the US Top 20 since 1988),
but it deserves it.

P.S:This song was co-written by another late '80s/early '90s
stelwart,Cathy Dennis.Her bigest hit here was 1991's "Touch Me
(All Night Long)".I just thought that an intresting little fact!

As someone who's been following Kylie since her late 1980s, Stock Aitken Waterman years, I was one happy camper when I learned that "Can't Get You Out of My Head" blasted into the US Top Ten. After a disastrous cover of "The Locomotion," Kylie quickly disappeared from the American spotlight while she attained superstardom in the UK. Over the years, she tried to win American audiences back, but with no such luck. Then, years later, came this single, a hypnotic slice of disco minimalism with its undeniable "la la la" hook. Having topped the charts in the UK and in a few other countries, it was poised for similar success stateside. After a long absence, we Americans should be so lucky that we have Kylie back ruling the charts again. "I Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is one of the best and most memorable singles of this, or any other, year.

I just purchased the two versions of this single last night, and I can't stop listening to them. CD #1 which includes two non-album tracks being my favorite. It is worth the price for rendezvous at sunset, alone. All in all, worh every penny they cost, and if you haven't already picked up the new cd "FEVER", rush out and get it now!! just listen to the track "BURNING UP" and you will wonder why she isn't as big here in the usa as she is in the rest of the world. (just one more argument for moving overseas).

Kylie Minogue is so freakin' HOT that everytime i see her i wanna get naked and "Can't get you out of my head" is so darn sexy.
It's got a pulsating strutting groove that gets your blood boiling and makes you wanna get on the dance floor and do your thang.,
This is primo pop dressed up in a super dance groove and it will get any party cookin guaranteed.
Personally i recommend getting the entire "Fever" album which will have you on the floor panting for air from all of it's wet and juicy musical savage foreplay.
OUCH!
Tell Kylie you want the fever and prepare yourself to be cooked to a crisp with Kylie's hot sexy grooves.

when this first came out in Australia/Europe September 2001, I thought if Kylie didn't succeed worldwide with it, she'd never do it. I'm glad it became a phenomenom.

There's not much to say about the track, so I'll talk about Boy and REndez-vous at sunset. both are very retro and a little cheesy, but infinitely better than the awful "give it to me" and "Dancefloor" that actually made it to the Fever album.

B-sides become rare with time, so if you have the chance to get this CD and are a Ms. Minogue collector, buy it.

I like the Disco Vibe of this Song by Kylie Minogue.good CLub type song.I Won't go expecting much of the Album but this Song is a cool Dance cut.

Written by former US Pop Icon Cathy Dennis, Kylie Minogue took advantage of what is perhaps the best song in the last 2 decades & catapult her star higher than ever - & it has worked. Not only that, but it is a genuinely brilliant song. Coming from one of the world's leading performers (only just behind Janet, Madonna & Britney), Kylie's alreay illustrious 13 year career seems to be getting better & better. This single has sold 2.5 million copies, No.1 in over 20 countries & still selling. With a due release in US on 26th February, America is about to succumb to one of the most consistently brilliant artists of our era. The song is driven by a hypnotic club beat, whispery lalala's & sensual vocal delivery. Add to that an amazing video. It cannot fail to make you move nor smile. I GUARANTEE IT!!!

I heard this song when I was living in italy for a month back in October-- it was really big in the clubs there, and makes you really want to dance. I recommend this definitely--Techno & Dance music ROck!!

"Self-consciously iconic in a neo-Warholian mode" .. when I read those words about Kylie (!) over six years ago, I have to admit to being more than a little surprised.

I have resisted the onslaught and the hype in the interim period with the occasional concealed nod and stolen foot-tap to her music when I've heard it now and again - this can't be music for grown up dance bods, can it ?

Well I have to say that this track of 'ers has bowled me over..

Let's descend even further into cliche and hyperbole.

The opening bars with the organ instantly pull you in and are reminiscent of St. Etiennes "Only love can break you heart" - God, I love that track - and it only get's better.

The cheeky 101 (acieeed!) grooveline serves to retain your heightened aural interest levels through a catcy, albeit repetitive middle section.

The final melancholic chord progression on the strings truly rounds off a wonderful cathartic musical moment and washes away the sorrows and troubles of the day.

Ahhhh! that's better.

C-ya.
