I don't get why people are putting this song down. Yes it uses a drum loop from another song - so what? It makes good use of it. The production is excellent, the drums relentless. Original melody, different from what you'd expect from a pop song. "Fairground" is like a journey without a beginning or an ending. Definitely one of Simply Red's musical highlights, but also a landmark in 90s pop music.

This song is really terrible. It steals the drums the Goodmen use in "Give it up" and puts it to horrible use, making it boring and predictable and really tacky. This song is an example of why people make fun of me when I say I listen to house.
