I personally have not been as impressed with an Erasure single since "Rock Me Gently", which was chock full of melodic dance and where almost every track was beautiful to listen to. This is because all of the tracks, insofar as I have heard (which is most) are extremely well-produced and catchy. You don't have any of the monotous club crap that has butchered and annihilated the dance music scene in the past ten years. Instead, the remixes retain the original melody and lyrics rather than covering them up with a hideous droning thump. "Tell It To Me" is not genius, but it is very fun and energetic and definitely adds to the fresh sound of the single. They are both fun to listen to and sing along to, which is an excellent combination in a club or anywhere else. I personally adore their ambient peak from '94-'96. However, this is a classic song in the first place, reconstructed in a smooth, danceable, melodic form that is very appealing to listen to. The lyrics of this song are very unusual, so this makes for even more interesting listening. All in all they did an elegant and soulful electronic interpretation of a classic dance hit, and nobody in my experience can execute this more precisely or beautifully than Erasure. Definitely worth purchasing (including the dvd single with the short film).
