BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” is a song originally performed by British group The Smiths. It was released as the B-side of “William, It Was Really Nothing” in 1984 and later featured on the compilation albums Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs.
The Dream Academy covered “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” in 1984. This version peaked at #83 in the UK Singles Chart. The instrumental version of the song is the better known cover version, since it was used in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (during the Art Institute scene) along with an other Dream Academy song “The Edge of Forever”. A similar (but vocal) single later appeared on the compilation album, Somewhere in the Sun… Best of the Dream Academy.
As a bonus track I have also included the US 7″ mix of “The Love Parade”. This mix is exclusive to the US 7″ single.

I loved this version as a teenager, but could you tell me what the password is, please?
Thanks Paul, I really enjoyed the instrumental.
Oh thank you so much and sorry 🙂
Hi to everyone,I try to download but I have problems because I don’t know where I can register myself 🙂 anyone can help me? thank you
Hi John please read the FAQ.
I really respect Johnny Marr’s songwriting, and this track is an excellent Smiths’ song. But I prefer listening to Dream Academy’s cover, for several reasons – instrumentation, vocal performance, etc.
It’s like Daryl Hall’s song Everytime You Go Away. I love the original Hall & Oates version, so soulful and sparse. But Paul Young’s cover is just a gorgeous, beautifully arranged pop ballad (with wonderful bass playing by Pino Palladino). It’s usually better suited to my mood.
Thanks for posting this!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you dj paul.
Most Smiths cover versions are shit, but this is such a beautiful version, and i was singing it only today whilst actually wandering round an art gallery. 🙂 🙂
Thanx!
Absolutely beautiful. You have my eternal thanks, not only for this but for a whole host of 12″ mixes from my youth. Mind you, is there a 12″ of The Edge of Forever? I have a feeling I once saw one, but I can’t be too sure.
Either way, keep up the good work brother. You’re admired worldwide.
Hi Daniel there was a US 12″ released as a promo but unfortunately no mixes just the standard version on both sides 🙁
Thanks man… I’m gonna rock this one tomorrow in the car!
lol you’re welcome Paul 🙂
Thanks for another classic.
I’m stunned to see that David Gilmour of Pink Floyd produced this. Very interesting.
You’re welcome DH 🙂
Sa-weet! Thank you!
You’re welcome Conner 🙂
I have a mint 45RPM copy of Dream Academy’s “Love Parade” with this cover image instead, amazing track, still love it to this day, never tired of it, probably the only track from them that I love most… cheers!
Cheers Denny!
Simply gorgeous!
I love The Smiths’s version (it’s my second favourite The Smith’s single) and have it on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack.
I also love this The Dream Academy cover, and bought a New Wave compilation CD in the 90s just for their version.
I’ve always assumed the US 7″ for The Love Parade is the same as the UK one. And with all the fuss and talk over it here…I can’t wait to check it out!
Thanks for another brilliant post, Paul!
I guess everybody get what they wanted today!
You’re welcome Ric! I hope you enjoy the 7″ mix 🙂
I love it! Now I can understand the excitement and fuss of fellow BTGers over this!

Thanks for this.
Please Paul, could you post the artwork of the “love Parade” US 7″?
Merci d’avance… 😉
Piotrvladimir it has the same artwork as this 12″ just but with “Love Parade” title. Here is the Discogs link : http://www.discogs.com/Dream-Academy-The-Love-Parade/release/1891694
Thanks
Wow, awesome! You just made my day … “Ferris Bueller” memories all over this one.
PS: There wouldn’t be the 12″ of “Indian Summer” in your vault, too? :-)=)
Hi Andy it is coming in the near future I have bought a copy from Italy as soon as I get it will be posted 🙂
Hey, looking forward to that. :-))
Are you interested in Taco’s 12″ “Let’s Face The Music”?
Hi Andy yes I would be interested in the Taco 12″ I don’t have that one 🙂
You’re welcome omar 🙂
Thanks Paul a zillion. The Love Parade mix is awesome !
