If only people actually listen to the lyrics, and see George Michael's comments on his official web site, this song will be more appreciated. Many people just rush into the judgment. Rare for George Michael to make such an obvious political song, so I was very intrigued. He also continues to produce cross over between funk and disco, almost remind you of Prince. If you liked early George Michael songs, you will appreciate this song. I don't really care for remixes, but the video is worth it. I can't wait for his new album.

George Michael fans...the orginal is first, it's fun, real bubbly, and I hear some sound effects from one of the remixes of Freeek!, and Fast Love. There is also a sample of the Human League's Love Action(I Believe in Love)?
The second track reminds me of Beat It when I first hear the drum intro. I would expect to hear this in a club. This is a darker sounding mix. "I know that you're h-rny", and "See Sergeant Bilco having fun again"...his words echo in and out of sync with the beat and in some places distorts, on purpose of course. "We're getting freaky tonight", over the top of some heavy synths and synth basses, this mix is full of energy. This track is worth the cost of the cd.
The third track is smooth and refreshing. It's also faster than the original. This is the clean radio version. It's catchy, and the instrumentation is not the same as the original.
The video is very straight forward. This is a cartoon video, but you knew that already. Check out George in drag.
I think this cd is wonderful. If your a George fan, buy it! If you like dance music the second track is worth it.

Don't let the media tell you what you should think about George Michael or his new hit record. If you buy it, you will love the quality of the recording and production of this uptempo song of Mr. Michael. I personaly think the video ( included on this CD-single ) is briliant ! I cannot believe people do not see the humor in it. Song 2 on this single ( de moogymen remix ) is a real trance classic. His new album will be out in november / december, and it will be briliant..... he never let us down so far.

George Michael has never dissapointed me. This single is so lively and has a lot of meaning between the lines. I loved it, George you never fail to surprise...

Even if you DON'T agree with George Michael's leftist attitude in the lyrics--and trust me, I don't at all--the music itself is still guaranteed to be wonderful. Even cooler, it has a remix (track 3) which actually threatens to blow away the original song!

All of which makes me even more anxious for George's upcoming album. What can I say? I don't agree with his personal attitudes--but musically, he's a genius who has never let me down yet.

Just Fantastic! I couldn't believe that after the Robotic exposure of George Michael in Freeek, he could come out so bold with 'Shoot the Dog' - a mastermind combination of message, song and the comic video. No way, President Bush, Tony Blair, Saddam Hussein would be cooing n watching with awe-struck George video and somewhere on back of their minds, humming the song too! A sure pick. George has prooved himself again and never lets the fans lose his tracks. A steady rise, always some cool message flows and here he is 'Shoot the Dog'
