I remember reading a letter of complaint about this track in an issue of 'Fast Forward' (showing my age there!), and it was from a girl of about 14 who found it offensive. She said that elderly people or kids could hear this and be disturbed' by it. Can you imagine a teen making a complaint like that these days? How times change.
WTF??? "This SAFE thing's not working"???? Wasn't it originally "this AIDS thing's not working"?? This brutally honest, sex-positive dance/club anthem, arriving at the height of the AIDS epidemic, was a classic political bombast - now its been wussified here. Shame!
Wow haven't seen this vid in a long time! I had the cassette when I was a teenager. Good times. There was an awesome track called "Allen got a new hi fi" that I really liked too.
Good lord, of ALL the videos to succumb to Political Correctness -- the original actually said "This AIDS thing's not working"...not "This/The Safe thing's not working." Sheesh.
I used to try to explain this song to my friends when I was in the 6th/7th grade and they had no idea what I was talking about. I used to hear it on the radio every Saturday night in the late 90s, haha.
this bring back alot of memories they played this at my jr high school dance back in 1991 i can't belive they played this song for middle school kids! wow! i was shocked when i first heard the song i was like danceing to it tho it was great dance song!
this is one of those songs that you tried to tell your friends about and they look at you like ,,what the hell are you tallking about ,but i knew i was not crazy and this was a song
Haha; sex is the most primal need in humanity. It will never go out of style because it is, to coin the title of the Sharon Stone movie, a basic instinct.
Of course people are still having sex... otherwise we'd all go extinct! Unless we all embrace artificial insemination or reproduce asexually, and find other pastimes in the bedroom. Can't see it happening, really.
@OutTVPittsburgh back in the days, the AIDS disease was at the peak of its ''fame'', i guess it was still really controversial back then, as mannnnnnnny things... Sure they censored ''this aids thing's not working'' but they kept the word ''Sex'' somehow...
@gitano045 ...not really... LaTour as mentionned on the title is the ''singer'' and the ''hello lover'' part is a sample from Evil Dead II, i dont think Tiësto was actually even active back at the time (1991)
@TheMscrp that's funny coming from someone who calls theirselves MsCrap. RE Latour; this shit was tired then (1991?) and it's still tired. With so so much quality house music from that era availible why would anyone bother with a piece of shit like this?

Noticed a lot of comments about the quality of Vevo videos. Watched this from beginning to end with no lag whatsoever. Maybe its time to upgrade your 'puters to cope with decent YT/Vevo resolution. :)
Yeah he did, but it was edited for the commercial video release to fall in line with whining people's attitudes to what was essentially a frank statement. But it's ok, my 6 track EP has the real deal.
Hey Thanx! Hadn't heard that in yrs!!!! Feel like I'm back in my bedroom dancing! Love the Allen track!
