There are some remixes on the CD single. They suck, lots. Given that the
bassline is the song's strongest asset, guess, if you will, which part
of the song the remixes leave out.

When I first heard Jamiroquai was changing its sound, I got real
excited,
then I heard this tune. It sounds like Sony asked Jamiroquai, "Would you
guys be interested in doing a song for the 'Godzilla' soundtrack? We
need
it by tomorrow night..." The chorus is rather atrocious, but I agree,
it's
got a cool bassline. I'm not a fan of great tunes being remixed, so in
this
case, would somebody remix this tune PLEASE?!?!? (Except for the
infamous
David Morales, of course! :))
As for U.S. availability, you'd have to wait until 1999 when it appears
on
their next album...Hopefully they'll use the remix version.
