this is aweful... trevor horn and jeff downes deserved better...the bass line is wrong...it just sounds like protools garbage to me...I LOVE erasure...but this is disapointing...
@hexcaster its all personal choice...im a big trevor horn fan...i even own the same model bass he used with the buggles which just so happens to be the same bass john taylor from duran duran used...i guess its purest vs pop-esque..no harm no foul just personal choice..
I have almost everything Erasure has released, and I have to say the original version of this song is far far superior. I was really looking forward to seeing what Erasure could do with this song and i was really disappointed.
"fag pop"? Really? I guess people aren't wrong when they say there are a bunch of bigots left in the world. It's all good if you don't like the song, but must you illustrate your ignorance for all to see?
Andy Bell... FTW!!!!

I don't think the Buggles would to pissed about this remake, in fact they probably jump
from their wheelchairs and dance it up :> TKS for the up.

Hmm I was open minded to this, but it's too techno and not got as much 'soul' as the original, just my opinion, sorry. :)

I do like many of Erasure's songs but i dont think is a very good cover version of the Buggles' classic hit !

Oh stop fighting who cares who made a good pop record, from madonna to nirvana, ABBA to ZZTop. Just enjoy whatever music you want!

this does make the song much more "overt" than the original... I do agree that the irony was sacrificed to illustrate the meaning.

A candy-ass version. It took all the analog irony out of the song. Boring.
