This song is one of my favorites from amazing Laura Branigan. The sound of this track reminds me mix of Madonna, Paula Abdul, Taylor Dayne and Samantha Fox. Anyway Laura is the most overlooked & underrated female artist in history (along with Sandra and Belinda Carlisle)
Um the song is immaculate in any version its a beautiful disco fun song its very donna sumer like but I like Gloria Estefanns version of the song a lot because she added a latin flavour to it with the miami sound machine and she shot the video pregnant now that is a true woman.
WHAT A FUCKING AMAZING VOCALIST!!!!!! She was so under rated only because she didn't dress like s a slut or went around fucking every celebrity! She's way better than Celine, Whitney, and Mariah combined. She's got a fucking strong voice!!!!
I love my Gloria Estefan and the production of Gloria's version but Laura's vocals are much more powerful. All you gotta listen to is the "you've got to get your thing off," especially on the CD version. I love them both...the original from the 70's I could never get into...but R.I.P. both Vicky and Laura.
she is good but nahh man gloria version its better she put that latino thing into it come on ...but i know she die and everythin and she is the best with the self control song and gloria but this one i give it to gloria estefan
Laura had a gift that few singers had that made her a very special singer. Look it up if you wish. It saddens me to think she has left us so young! God Bless you Laura and miss you!
@tiggerstripe26 Not saying that. Laura Branigan has a great voice i. You're 100% correct on the comparison with Gloria Estefan but this song was not suited for her.
@SFKennyn, Laura Branigan could never compare to Gloria Estefan. This is the most horrible version of turn the beat around in history. Gloria Estefan is the star of "Turn The Beat Around"

terrible remake of a great disco tune, gloria etefan had the right idea to keep the song as close to the original as possibe...this is awful..its not even sung well
I usually don't mind shoulder pads, but those are some honkers aren't they!!! :o Looks like she got them at some NFL lineman's garage sale. Oh well, love Laura anyway!
I saw this one live on Regis show (back when he had Kathie Lee Gifford for co-host). I loved the original Vicki Sue Robinson version, but Laura out-did her 100%! Laura really packs some energy into the old song!
We miss you, Gloria. (Ashes scattered in Long Island Sound, 2004).
Never did get to see her perform this on tv or live in concert when I saw her. Great to see this clip! Thanks for uploading this. Laura is sorely missed!

Laura Branigan's voice is great, but I know her from this song and Self control... both of which I like the "originals" better.
Why didn't a producer ever pick this talent up and make her a star in her own right???
