We used to have this on the jukebox in the pub about 20 years ago, and my friend and I would put it on. Everybody else would get really excited that we'd stuck some Queen on, then the beat would kick in and they'd be furious. My friend and I loved it though.

I've just found a notebook with a few tracks scribbled in it, including this. There's a date at the top of the page and it reads "good session on xfm 03/01/2003". If you were dancing to it in 2002 it was probably a white label promo. Stay well fellow human.
