Strikes me that the straightforward 12” version (remix with no specific name) is one of the best. Nicely stripped down and consequently less dated. Seems also it’s only on the North American editions and none of the UK or European ones

My girlfriend thinks the lyric says "We're havin' meatballs" X-D The previous reviewer is right tho. The bongos in the B1 will murder it any time any place.

the "Kick the Pump Mix" by Derrick May (listed as May-Day) is almost like hearing him DJ live he hits the first synths multiple times like they are in a sampler pad. May then throws in some filter and the "ohh" sample from the vocals for a few min. The mix is aggressive and dramatic you know he's operating back there. Heavy use of delay effect and filters. At one point he stops it with a rub like he's got a finger on the vinyl (but then edits out the beat that he's behind). Really clever stuff, the full "we don't need a crowd" sample doesn't even show up until the 3 minute mark. It's a playful "re-edit" about 119 BPM, call it proto-deep house or slow techno either way move aside cause Derrick May is coming through...
