It stinks that I have to give this such a low rating, but the remixes on this single suffer from a serious lack of likeability...the radio edit and the original mix are the only two tracks on here worth owning. I was not impressed by the slow moving near lifeless Sergio Santiago mix, nor the trying-to-hard to make nothing happen tracks from Solid Groove...so long as you are just buying this for the originals, you won't be disappointed...They are great! However, if you are looking for some good remixes of this track...keep on looking because they aren't on this one.

I first heard this song off of a TV music station from Music Choice. This is a fun song. When that song was playing on Music Choice, I actually turned the TV up all the way, and as ridiculous as this may sound, I also went to change into my favorite clothes, went back into my living room and started dancing. That's how much I enjoyed the song. It was such a sweet song that I went and bought the CD single. The Radio Edit (3:27) and the Original Club Mix (7:49) are the best tracks. It's too bad that these tracks are the only good ones in this CD single. I expected to hear better from these remixes. The other mixes don't even include the bass from the first two tracks. The Serge Santiago Remix (9:10) is depressing and torturing. You hear the vocalist say "All I wanna do is get next to you" too many times! Plus, it sounds and feels slow even for a dance mix. The Solid Groove Hear My Rub (6:15) and Solid Groove Hear My Dub (5:55) aren't as bad as the Serge Santiago Remix, but are still bad. They're both boring, despite special effects and other things tweaked in the Hear my Dub. I would've liked to hear remixes with the bass from the original mixes. I probably wouldn't complain about these remixes if the bass from the original mixes was added to them. I'm sticking with the original mixes. Sometimes the original mix gets stuck in my head, but I wouldn't care if it is, just as long as it's this version and not any other.

This is one of my favorite singles so far this year. This is the latest single for remixer /dj Armand Van Helden and this track comes off as a New Wave dance track. The basis for the song is 2004 Electronica music but the feel vocally is one of 1980's dead pan style that reminds me of the stylings of The Flirts and Vanity while in the Vanity 6 girl group. Childhood memories!!!!!

The mixes are all electro in vibe with the Serge Santiago mix being the most straight ahead house mix. All great mixes.
