The old Elton John single was pulled out of the wardrobe earlier in the year and played in trendy city clubs. It was a hit! Ever since then it has got bigger and bigger culminating in a re-launch. The song is catchy with a simple chorus, perfect for belting out in the car at the roundabout, and makes you remeber singing in the mirror with a hairbrush!The song is a complete change to today's music, it is a classic song that has not been altered, but still has an element of freshness.As hard as you try not to, it gets your feet tappin',your hips jivin' and trust me; you just can't stop!Overall it's a brilliant record and Elton is going to benefit greatly from the royalties!

5.0 out of 5 stars The bomb, 7 Sep 2003

By	MR J. A Clemas (Devon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't believe this has track laid around for so long not doing anything. It's gorgeous. Great singing, wonderful backing, nice "live in studio" video on CD-rom... what can one say. So nice to have a decent number one, in an era when quality chart music is almost non-existent.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Gay Anthem of 2003, 9 Sep 2003

By	J. W. Bassett (Kent, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

There's only one song to come out to this year and it's this incredible barnstormer by Elton John. It's utterly magnificent and sounds all of it's 24 years old, which makes it all the better. I haven't heard the original so I'm not sure what tinkering Norman Cook has done, but track doesn't have too many of the Fatboy hallmarks so I'm imagining it sticks fairly closely to the original blueprint.

A certain contender for single of the year come December.

This song is the bomb and the CD single comes with a campy CD Rom video from 1979. Most excellent, the only thing that would make this CD better would be for it also to include... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a fun song. An old one from the 70's.
This one is becoming a hit for the first time, over 20 years late. I can't wait to get this in the mail. It's a fun song, and it just puts you in a good mood. You'll enjoy this.

This is obviously a great track. However, once again we've been succoured into buying a version of the track that, whilst being excellent, is not the one being used to promote it... Read more
