I loved this song and it had a great video to go with it. I don't know about other radio stations but the pop station here gave it some good airplay. I think it did reasonably well in Canada overall.

i always wondered why the video was so weird... but the song was amongst the most played on EC and people just ate it up! (i don't know if many of you watch even a bit of EC, but the show is crap now)
this was a definitively catchy track, i liked!

Great song, don't know if I thought the video was very good though.

I love this song. EC is definitely crap now, all they play are pop videos and some hip-hop, no dance at all.
A week ago or so, I heard my Hot-AC station, CHUM-FM, play a remix of this song mixed with Madonna's "Holiday."

Yeah I really love this track too, but I keep confusing the guitar riff with "Lady" by Modjo, so I have to start singing it to get back on track. super tune, shoulda been a hit.

It didn't do anything on American radio. I only heard it on Open House Party and a couple of mix shows. I wish it more radio stations would've jumped all over it.

Cool techno track from around '98. It was great to hear in clubs, but I never really liked hearing it on the radio. Same with that Phats & Small track "Turn Around", and Modjo's "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)".

The intro reminds me of Kylie's "Love At First Sight."
I don't really like the dude's voice, but its a good dance song nonetheless.

Definitely like the track, and the "Holiday" remix is one of my Madonna favorites.

i am definitely going to have to disagree with the majority. i really disliked this song when it came out. and it never grew on me. i still think it was one of the worst singles / videos of that year.

The video was on 120 Minutes quite a bit in fall '98. I loved it. I own the cassette single and also burned it onto a mix CD. (I think it was either the radio edit or the extended version, depending on which one the single had.)
I believe one of the gentlemen in Daft Punk spearheaded this project, which is why you never get to see any band member faces in the video.
I wonder why this song was the only thing they did. A full-length probably would've been pretty cool.

If you are fans of this track, you may wanna check out Pete Heller and his song "Big Love" which I think made it to #1 on the club chart in 1999. A great feel good dance song much like this.

I've always liked Daft Punk and this side project is no exception. Great song, and I really liked the video. The "countdown" playing on TV was a nice effect. Daft Punk reused that idea for one of their videos to the songs on " Discovery".
"Big Love" was a cool song too. WLIR was on that big time in 2000. Man, I really miss that station. I wouldn't know half the dance songs I know if it weren't for them.

Yep, even tho I didn't really listen to LIR as much by this time, I used to love going into their website and seeing their weekly playlist, and I had a friend who was a big fan of the station. they were pretty much the first station that played Gigi D'agostino, Angelmoon, Faithless We Come 1, and I'm sure many others. They have always had a way of breaking dance inflected music, way back from their early 80s days. |

I really liked this track. It was a fun minimal disco/house track. That sample of Chaka Khan's "Fate" was real clever.
I personally enjoyed the Spacedust Mix of this song. That's the one used in that Madonna "Holiday" mashup remix.
Oh, the sweet memories of 1998!

This was a song that I didn't care about much back in the day but in recent years I appreciate it and like it now.

This finally got a proper digital release just a few months back. It’s hard to believe that this had never been on streaming platforms for the many years. I have since heard all the different remixes of the original song and sadly none of them are as good as the original. That bootleg Spacedust remix is particularly good as it just spices it up ever so slightly m.youtube.com/watch?v=SSlwAtwh8JU |

Power 106 played it in the mix in 1998 but not in rotation.

I remember hearing this back in 2002, but I never knew the name of the song or the artist until now. This sounds like a remix to Modjo’s “Lady”.
ETA: Seeing that Daft Punk was mentioned above, I thought the song was recorded under their name.
