    It's been around for years obviously but it's so evocative.

    The combination of that fast synth beat and percussion is intoxicating.
    Love the way it rises to a crescendo and then breaks down with the drum bit.

    Took me years to figure out the name of it (Radio DJs too lazy to back-announce it) before finding it on Youtube.
    Anyone else like this song.

    Yep. a good all-rounder tune which i use at both teenage gigs and bars that "dont allow dance music".

    love the song. for those who want a cheesier version...check out the real booty babes version (which isnt really all that bad imo!)

    Yep love the track.
    What is it about it? Well the drums make it, and the rest of it just fits. Hard to explain but its just a great record.

    Heard it at a Hi-Fi show on a £100,000 set up. On Vinyl. I nearly melted. It bounces around the room and into your head. Made a nice change from all the classical music too:)

    There was a live group of drummers that used to play this song in Time nightclub in Naas a few years back. The DJ and the drummers mixed in and out of the music perfectly. Great song.
