Well frankly, I’m a little annoyed no one told us about this version earlier. Mostly because this was posted to youtube and uses our banner, but they didn’t let us know about the song! Anyways, Caramelle is cute and does a R&B/hip hoppy version, it’s nice.

Jim Thornton does one of the best background party keyboard versions I think our staff has ever been lucky enough to listen to.

This is quite a bit like the original, but in duet form. The thing is, with these fairly regular covers, it doesn’t give us much to write about. What we can say is that Kelly is in Bellefire and Stephen is in Boyzone, both Irish pop groups. Apparently both are popular in their homeland, Boyzone also launching the career of Ronan Keating, who briefly managed the the band Westlife, who also performed Last Christmas …and the cycle continues…
