THOSE WERE THE DAYS!

[mariatschien]

<3

[mrcash193]

wtf is up this kinda music and not given credit to the singers!!! gonna make you sweat was the same bullshitt i mean wtf even doe the singer aint all sexy at least give her credit

[dazzireh]

remind of dancing or fighting in the sunset at the bay of SouthTown

[chiperta]

I fucking hate these modern days i wish i could bring this era back.

[UKRaver1956]

This is my favourite mix of Stike it up. I love the guitar rift, it's similar to the track "Black Skinned Blue-Eyed Boys, by The Equals from 1970. Check out the video to that, on the far left playing guitar and wearing the shades is a young Eddie Grant

[ciberiada01]

@UKRaver1956

Absolutely RIGHT!!!

Almost the same phrase, almost the same tempo and almost in the same key ("The Equals" play it 2 semitones up). DJ Lelewel must have seen very clearly the beauty and the "power" of their music. Not surprising for me, especially for a man like Eddy Grant, having unique musical ideas. A man, who only wants to live like human in his own country!!!

[UKRaver1956]

@ciberiada01 I remember a few tracks from the early 1990s with samples of 1960s or 1970s tracks. They seemed to work really well and this mix is a good example. Sixties groups such asThe Equals and The Foundations were like pioneers of the pop world, They were Multicultral/multiracial with a good combination for music and lyrics. Resulting later in some terrific dance music for their successors. Many thanks for posting this track.

[ciberiada01]

@UKRaver1956

Thanks to you too, for sharing your opinion and for reporting the original.

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

they should have pulled the sound plug to see how this lady really sounded as this was not MARTHA WASH nor LOLETTA HOLLOWAY, yet she was allowed to be plastered all over their albums for these techno house tunes in the 90s.........

[anothercountyheard]

@PAYBACKiszaB2 it's called "marketing"

[discobaby795]

Damn! Been looking this version for years!  This is the best remix of the song by far. Does anyone know where can it be downloaded? Thanks for posting.

[MEskandar1881]

nice video, thank you.

[nouthrithy]

Top high voice in the world!!!!

[deezvids]

you were only 10?? shit, i was in college!!!

[c1976newfie]

reasone why she wasn't in the vid, was because the people behind the music didn't think her image would sell, but her voice is awlsome.

[zivlazar]

thanks for this song. just found it for my birthday! good memmories of 1991!

[Poutine25]

Magique, la vrai dance hédoniste

[jacquesmk]

Note : this version was re-edited by Joachim Garraud (for the french release)

[ciberiada01]

@jacquesmk

I think this is an important note, especially for the 90's music maniacs!

You must be a DJ saying that. Although his name is present below the "Mégaremix" version, I didn't know that he re-edited also this one.

[jacquesmk]

@ciberiada01

remixed by danielle davoli, but edited for the french market by Joachim Garraud back in 1990...

[hockeycosommardi]

Tres bon les danseurs m'impressionne j'aimerais danser comme ca.

[jacquesmk]

Massive mix - great synth - Nice memories !!!

[donatellocp]

Sin duda alguna la mejor musik de todos los tiempos del mix y el dance de los 90`s nunca la olvidaré.

[lito8vo]

@donatellocp ASI ES COMPADRE YA VA A CUMPLIR 20 AÑOS Y HOY MAS QUE NUNCA SIGUE IGUAL DE VIGENTE

[tanyam333]

does anyone know what crew that is (b-boying?) God their amazing!

[jess4metoo]

@tanyam333 I thought it was break dancing? Anyway I don't know who any of them are. They have judges sitting in the background, so it's a competition. There may be a winners list somewhere on the web.

[bcsportsreporter]

Some of those dance moves are amazing

perfect song well done

[LUIGILEMIX]

desde luego el equipo limoni/davoli/semplici son increibles tanto para componer canciones con gancho(pero buenas aunque sean comerciles)comopara producir y sobre todo hacen remezclas de sus propios temas que superan al original como esta o la de everybody o la version salsoul de i don´t know anybody else,todavia me emociono al oirlasy eso que han pasado añitos

[chum4bitz]

good song. nice break dancin' too

[caminante710]

creo que es el mejor mix, por que las otras las cambiaron por completo y no son buenas, esta me gusto mas que cualquiera de las remixadas

[BlackBoxHouse]

See the original at the BlackBoxHouse Channel

[sockcutter]

I remember this remix like it was yesterday. Of course it wasn't yesterday and my deejaying days (or should that be nights?)are far behind me but thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)

Long live the old skool.

[phoenixres87]

lol hell yeah this song is the shit. Gets me pumped up!!

[adrian19721005]

Hasta ahorita es la de mejor audio que he encontrado de esta gran cancion

[alex1312n]

[increativitystudio]

I love this version

[stillbuggin]

You guys should check out Nefti - Strike it up. Ravebreaks/nurave remix of strike it up.

[rtok07]

Anyone wanting to get their grubby paws on this version?? Go to RocketMP3

[atlfine]

katrin was an ugly bitch with jacked up teeth

[Biprov]

Actually, ciberiada01, if you've got the mp3 floating around, I'm willing to pay you money for it...I cant' find this version ANYWHERE!

[macman216]

just download Audio Hijack Pro and you can copy the sound from anything hope you have a Mac

[boostynl]

Many thanks for posting this version, which is definitely the best remix for this song ;)

[ciberiada01]

I think you are

GOD DAMN RIGHT!!!

2 thumbs up for this version

[breaks0]

I grew up thinking his version of I don't Know Anybody Else is the best too, but the Hurley is at least as good. Depending on your taste.

[bajosolomosto]

is it just me or does anyone else have like immense nostalgia for the nineties, i just friggin miss them

[Biprov]

Uh, yes---absolutely! I was a kid then---turned 11 in 1990---and couldn't go clubbing yet. But I always wanted to get my swerve on to tracks like this!

[Sh4un1r1k]

haha, your not the only one, I feel the same way. niinnettiess!

[northernstudio]

Heard this one first on PAC 93 Open House Party in Massena, NY. Phantastic tune. THANKS FOR POSTING! 90s RULEZ

[spike555mr]

Amazine song.. sent the hairs on the back of my neck on alert when I first heard this in the 90s, on a good Blaster.."Awesome"

[Discofishinggoober]

Martha Wash - an amazing talent. Too bad she got robbed on the credits because she is big. Her voice is unparelled.

[Juanchih]

Black Box sold more CD.. Cos of the image of Katrin Tho....

[Biprov]

I disagree. They could have left the packaging blank, with no image on it at all, and it would have still sold by the truck load. Martha's voice is that incredible.

[missNYCmodel]

MY FAV FAV FAV FAV SONG BY BLACK BOX!!!!! TY sooooo much for this. I remember being 8 going on 9 yrs old and dancing to this at my town's Recreational Center dances in 1989-90. And it's about time SOMEONE posted a clean, clear sounding version of this. The remix version makes me sick, it doesn't have the exact sound that this ORIGINAL version has. So I say again TY SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS!

[ciberiada01]

Thanks for your comment

[sexyaz1]

NO DENYING MARTHA'S VOICE

[ciberiada01]

Of course NO DENYING !!!

Her voice can wake you up even if you are DEAD !!!

[alexanderdiaz1]

LMAO...You spoke the truth...WORK!!!

[freeek04]

ooo! This was the single version in America. Never heard the full version of it before tonight. GREAT find, thank you:D

[juniorkoops]

this is the best version of this song

gr from holland

[ciberiada01]

100% agree!!!

Best ever!!!

[EricStiven]

I love this song - brings back great memories of college - Martha Wash is the real vocals behind the song - this girl is just a covergirl.

[ciberiada01]

Yeah, I've heard about this, but I wasn't sure.

I've seen pictures of Martha Wash. Her look explains many things. Includingly why the hell did they exchange her with this young model.

One thing I can say - I hate this market policy. I prefer to look at the truth. That's why I will edit this video.

[RebbieFan]

yeah, she is really a beautiful woman

[jeromebamley]

LOVE IT!!
