Am I wrong to prefer the amped-up version by Outta Control? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSBFfWbJ_bc&quot;Youtube. Discogs.

Great 12” again! I wish Culture Club had released their two contributions for this album – they would have made great extended versions

My favourite single off this soundtrack!
A well-deserved hit for the duo, especially for Phil Oakey, since none of the three Human League singles made the UK Top 10 that year.
It was also great that Giorgio Moroder scored two UK Top 5’s with two different singers for two different movies!

I just love the whole marketing idea back then to keep to a consistent theme in the design of the singles released from this amazing soundtrack. Life was as colourful back then… 😉

A genius pop song. One of the all-time greatest pop songs of the 1980s. 🙂

There was a promo 12″ from Thompson Twins from the movie Cool World called “play with me (Jane).” There was a remix on there that I have not been able to find. Unfortunately my copy got warpped in the sun for whatever reason. do you have that?

It was a dancy mix of that song. I believe it was the inside track, and it was pretty much an instrumental dance mix. The cover was a bright orange and it had promo only all over it. Once my copy warpped, I never found it again. 🙁
