Lively (and better IMHO) release of the Aguilera version of the song. Speedway, from Scotland, fronted by Jill Jackson reached No.10 in the UK charts with this. They supported Bryan Adams on his autumn 2004 tour and did him proud. They also had an excellent album, Save Yourself, but sadly they split up in 2005 so that Jill could focus on her successful solo career.

far better than the original

I agree completely- it's far better than the original. But I was at school with Jill's sister, so I suppose that makes me biased in her favour. However, it was obvious years ago that Jill had heaps of musical talent. Really nice person, too.

I really don't know why they didn't become famous at least to a certain extent (Top 10 album and several more Top 10 singles). Maybe it's because their music wasn't played on TV and featured in advertisements.
Still a pity. Their music was catchy.

@Twitchyzip He seems to be the most active of the four too, Everyone is kinda just standing there. It adds a variety of motions to the basic strumming of the guitar.

Why is there so much focus on the drummer?
Twitchyzip 3 years ago
I've often wondered that. Could be because he looks very nervous, being the nearest to where the bikes are running (check out the point at 1:49 where he looks then ducks down). Bet he was glad when they finished :o)
