Just to be pedantic, the original is by Fonda Rae https://youtu.be/BjPZAkcMetA

It must have been unsettling for Cathy Dennis, who is a great pop songwriter that her biggest hit as a singer was a cover.

Yes, Fonda Rae is superior. I prefer Living in Ecstasy, though. I doubt Cathy minds, given her record as a songwriter (Kylie etc).

The bloke in the video, who is not NMesh...my ideal man in terms of time and space.

Over Like Fat Rat https://youtu.be/gQSFlZ2oXCA is my favourite Fonda Rae.

It must have been sweet for Dennis when Can't Get You Out Of My Mind and Toxic became such big hits.

Edit, just looked her up and she co-wrote Reach, About You Now & I Kissed A Girl too - very nice.

That's brilliant, reminded me of the original New Beat spirit (I thought the En Vogue sample spoilt the pure Bueller aesthetic a little though)

I always used to look out for Bob Blank 12"s when digging.This is a great compilation

The guy in the video (Toadfish) is actually Brian Lose, who I think is fantastic in it and the other videos he's done with Carmine Bloise. However, roll back a mere 3 years and there is a video of him doing a fresh-faced stand-up routine in what looks like a high school gym and it's dire...dreadful and possibly racist. I'm glad he's moved on to future retro dream wave melancholic abstraction.

They do say you get less racist and more future retro dream wave melancholic as you get older.
