This is one of those songs that always sounded much better live than in the studio. I still love Steve Harley's original, but Erasure did a brilliant cover job.
I was looking for a good cover of this awesome song and I'm not surprised these guys are the first that I liked. Nothing beats the original but this makes me want to dance just like it.
What is so awesome about this performance is it was before Andy's double hip-replacement surgery AND before coming out as HIV+. I've seen him perform four times since then and his performance only gets more and more breathtaking...
Yes, he revealed in 2004 that he was diagnosed in 1998 and his partner of over 25 years, Paul Hickey, was diagnosed in 1990. Hickey has written a book about it entitled "Sometimes! - A life of Love, Loss and Erasure".
Andy. I have been "happily married for 17 years, You still push all my buttons, Been there, got lots of tshirts, still dance like something possesed, every time I have seen you "LIVE" and thats been loads!!!!.
Vince, a total an absolute genius, need I say any more??????
♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ This song ROCKS!!...♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ ....Andy Bell is brilliant and beautiful. I want to snuggle up with him on a big, deep sofa, share a vodka martini and give him a big hug. ♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ Love Stefanie xOxOxOxOx
Wow, this is excellent! I had never even heard the Cockney Rebel version until about a month ago. Duran Duran's cover is a bit of a disaster, but I'm not surprised that Erasure really made this shine. Bravo!!
1:44, when all the hands start to being lifted up, and then, start to clap....in my opinion, the best moment of this video. I've enjoyed very much with this :)
hehe, What the hell is with his dancing during the voicebox bit. Still, their version of this song is so outrageously ridiculous you have to love it :)
Hey, this is pretty good. I first heard Duran Duran do this song, and then I checked out Cockney Rebel's original version, but I like this one the best.
this was never released on dvd, it was probs filmed and is in mutes vaults somewhere

Andy has always had such beautiful blonde hair. It's a shame he cut it off. I hope he grows it back soon!

I tried to pack the lyrics in a collection of pix from the German Kijiji Website - I just had the impression that the pix fit pretty well.. :-D
Let me know what you think of it - and if I haven't got the lyrics right, let me know as well (I tried my best to find out!)

over all the years of following them, I think this has to be my favourite cover version that they have done, classic song in the first place.
