memories of going home at dawn after a big night with this song in my head...

[@stuartsmith2248]

An underrated strike tune should've been a much bigger hit than it actually was

[@robevans5507]

this would tear any song today a new one absolutely dreadful the way musics gone over the years will only ever be one 90s

[@TheGuvOfWythenshawe]

This would put most of todays tripe to complete and utter shame IMHO! This takes me right back to my college days and generally being care free! 🥲😍

[@simakautas]

Wow, just discovered this tune, I have never heard it before in 90's, it's absolute fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jasonmurray890]

This has definitely got to be one of the bestest old school 90s music video I ever seen in my entire life, 1996 was a great year for the mid 90s dance music & it always will be😊😊😄😄👍👍👍🎧🎶🎧🎶🎧🎶🎧🎶🎧

[@GoldKingsMan]

Ya very colourful.

[@timhorton698]

In my book Capella's video -You & I (RAF remix) is better coz it's in HD. I prefer strikes song tho

[@adamdrew4514]

Hearing this in 2021 still sounds a shit ton better than the tripe that is released now days! 1996 delivered some proper mint classic tunes 👌

[@GoldKingsMan]

Yep.

[@meeshrosenberg1983]

Found a copy of now 35 in my gym today and this was on it, what a belter!

[@PaulArtmann]

its a groove that reminds me on my first love in the 90ies

[@danielpagett4778]

I'm enjoying this far too much

[@user-no1of6bk9o]

SUPER SONG!!!! MANY THANKS!!!

[@NigeUK007]

Stick this back on todays charts... show the world what real good summer music is! I so need a time machine..

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

YES!!! I wholeheartedly agree that we need to bring this type of music back in the charts! Songs like this one bring be back to a time in my life where I was young and had no worries, there was no inflation, no Karens, no one being woke, no internet drama, just pure good uplifting dance music!

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

An almighty classic and under the radar somewhat. She is gorgeous.

[@DanBmthUK]

Instantly back to being 20 and at Uni!

[@callumgoadby8848]

This is got a clubbing feeling, I was born 2000, but I love listening to the 90's Love you Strike ! Bring it on !!! ☺👍

[@robevans5507]

i was 11 when this banger came out i feel so sorry for your generation the millenials had to put up with bieber fever and all this x-factor rubbish haha

[@TheGuvOfWythenshawe]

@@robevans5507 I agree wholeheartedly! I've not long since turned 17 when this was released! Happy days!

[@tomstickland]

I've got a soft spot for euphoric piano pop house like this.

[@sayitjamon6237]

Someone with a lot of money in the music industry today looking at what will sell.... THIS WILL SELL IN 2 SECONDS OF HEARING SUCH A SICK BEAUTIFUL BEAT WITH A WICKED MESSGE OF HAPPINESS. SHE FEELS HAPPY OK!

[@VeiArtConsulting]

best days of my life...1996

[@noticiascvoce]

Electric Circus - Canada - Much Music

[@nickpriech]

Had this track on Now 35 in 1996.

[@alitopcubasi4588]

Same. 17 at the time roller drone, fun fair's then onto the clubs 😆

[@nickpriech]

I was 23

[@adnanalrahma]

Imagine that I came back searching for this song! Best days 1996

[@geography27]

This should've reached a higher position in the charts. Anyway, what matters is if it's enjoyable... and it's more than that!! Top tune!!

[@GoldKingsMan]

Oh wow this tune sounds familiar now , not heard in ages! Only now seen an interview with her , thought she was an Englisher but is an Ozzy.

[@alexanderharris8310]

1996. The economy was not great but in far better shape than now, the internet was our slave and not our master, music was still influenced by disco, clubs and pubs open, before all the anxiety, depression, zero hour contracts and extreme introversion of now. A better time.

[@In-SoulProMusic]

Big tune ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@noticiascvoce]

Tris track is awesome 😍😍💋💋 It was released on the Electric Circus

[@DanielFearn]

I thought this reached much higher. I remember it being played a lot in the clubs in '96 when I first moved to London. Great times!!

[@ashtonwagener6863]

I really want music like this to come back. I love the crazy music videos and of course, the music. 90s - early 2000s will always have a special place in my heart.

[@MrOshun]

I’ve only heard the Paula Abdul version which I love. Nice remix of the original

[@dirrty06]

So glad other people have great taste and remember this tune! Which Americans who would know Paulas original prefer this?

[@ScotsPipe]

🎵" Paula Abdul - My Love is For Real " 🎵👍😃🎵

[@Oswin-Bateman96]

This probably came out when I was born. I’m now 24 and this music is still impressive!

[@lucardplays2182]

I miss House ealy 90's!

[@GoldKingsMan]

Happy 2023!

[@edgydodgy3417]

Energy Surge! I've gotta this track is the best ever I've come across. Listen one I bet you've would be hooked to it. Blast your Speakers with full volume and experience the energy Surge!

[@disinterestful]

HOW did this only reach number 35? One of the many injustices of the world. The album ''I Saw The Future'' is superb.

[@stueymc1977]

I second that. I've only just discovered the album on Spotify. It's brilliant

[@edgydodgy3417]

To sum it up, it's a grave injustice to the artists and music production team, many times it's the hype and hoopla that always favours hopelessly insane established musicians. The foolish masses accept only the reknowned ones, fresh faces get discarded in the dumpster.

[@MagnyCoors]

I bought this on NOW That's What I Call Music 35. Fond memory.

[@mustafashaikh6946]

I loved all song by strike I remeber this song then and now 22 yer old song childhood and youngest age in cool feel this song beat it every party in

[@funnystuff9954]

[@edgydodgy3417]

😍😍😍😍😍 Love the song so much!!!! The starting notes is ethereal

[@estebantia2413]

Super amazing track and a great follow-up to the hugely cult U sure do! Never heard this at the time despite the success of U sure do, wonder what happened with the promotion of that track and the following singles... Worth noting that some of the remixes to this record are absolute BLISS!

[@mallorca6297]

... Yeah, I agree! I was djing in mallorca in 1995 and played U sure Do everynight of the summer, I did not know this song came out... so the promotion company messed up, because this song would have been massive in summer 96! In 96 i was playing livin joy- dont stop moving , quite alot.... but this song is better!

[@estebantia2413]

@@mallorca6297 Don't stop moving is such a cool track! But i do prefer this one too. Indeed what the fuck did they do with the promotion after such a cult club success as 'U sure do' remains a mystery. I never heard that track on french radios at the time and had to wait till 2002 to find it in a second hand music store while on a trip to Calgary, Canada...

[@tomstickland]

U Sure Do was played absolutely everywhere in 95 yet I'd never heard this track until recently.

I actually didn't know Paula Abdul did this song first.

Would mix really went into "Time" by Stonebridge ft Theresa

[@Jxworldwidemusic]

Omg this is SO Good is this Mark Taylor on production?

[@mannydem1]

It’s ok… but I stay with the original version….Go Paula!!!!

Too bad it just has the number of views it got

[@catrionastokes1001]

It's a good tune but prefer Paula Abdul's version!

[@tomstickland]

The original seems a bit serious. This is a genius combination of hyped up piano pop with a vocal that has a bit of sadness in the verse and a big lift in the chorus.

[@catrionastokes1001]

Each to their own I guess!

[@RockinDaBoombox]

Nowhere near as good as the original Paula Abdul version, but decent enough euro-cheese.
