i think most remember the original song which was a huge hit and i still really like it. i believe it was adapted after rosemary clooney's take of the original and that's only one in many good versions of the song. i didn't know that the skeewiff guys were responsible for the original, so i always thought this remix was the random "bigbeat" remix on the single.
it is however somewhat more interesting than the original shaft version because of reasons that only i agree to. i think the original is far too dated, which says little given that this version is also quite dated in it's bigbeat drums and aesthetics. but i think the vocals was in a lower pitch to sound more like rosemary clooney and i love that the tempo was kicked up a bit.
i really love it and i was happy when i discovered it about 9-10 years after the original when i found the single in a bargain bin. i'll probably still bang it out in sets in it's original speed or pitched down a wee bit for breaks sets. it's too good not to be worked in.
